Disappointing to see they're having teething problems with the new system. You'd thinking by now, that is, after a good number of years since PTVs were first introduced that PTV suppliers and installers would have been ironed out the kinks and got these things to work properly straight off the bat.

What I find interesting though is the shrt-hand msg abt dis issue. cool how dey r usin sms txt to comunic8 like dat. :p
