So out of sheer boredom today I plugged my SlingBox into my Virgin Media coaxial lead and told it to tune in using the onboard analogue cable tuner (Virgin supposedly shut down analogue cable some time ago). Besides the subscription free channels, static and audio I found this!



A Windows PC somewhere on the Virgin Media grid broadcasting various information for what I can only guess is for technicians.

What do you make of it?

After trying day after day for the last couple weeks it appears the me.com mail servers finally went online within the last few hours, by using modified .Mac IMAP settings I sucessfully sent an email (probably the first in the world outside Cupertino!) from my me.com email address!
All you need is a .Mac Account and an email client such as Apple Mail (On OSX or iPhone), Thunderbird or “shudder” Outlook.
Feel free to try the settings as posted below and contact me (via the contact page of my site) or leave a comment if you have any luck!
