Got the purple EPG, I suppose its better than the ntl purple.... Must admit its easier on the eye than red.

I suppose we shouldn't read anything into the fact that the VM name has been removed from the mini guide and EPG. We shouldn't read anything into that at all.... at least the infinity logo is there, for now.

Just tried to go back through some menus using the back button and it wasn't working, hmmm...... couldn't seem to get to the little tv window in the top right either to change channels while still in the menus. I'm sure I could do that before, but I barely use the tivo, so not sure.

I've never liked the channel change speed on cable since digital arrived, but as for now, VM choose to implement the delay to "aid" browsing the mini guide. Personally, I would prefer instant channel change and no delay but given up a long time ago on that one.

Oh and the box still needs to wake up, sigh....

Perhaps one day in a galaxy far, far away, there'll be a cable tv service with fast channel change, instant start up and I can reorder the channels where I bloody well want them.

I got the update this morning! Not sure it's any quicker, but it matches my rug in the lounge! Thanks VM.

First impressions of the new VM interface are good.

I like the colour scheme and it appears to be a lot easier to read through things. Will test it out more including the search enhancements as I can.

Got the update here in Enfield (Haringey headend) and at the moment navigation through all the menus is much smoother. The purple does not bother me if anything I find it a bit easier on the eye.

I can only compare this update to the upcoming Android Lollipop update, everything looks different but in reality all is mostly in the same place.

The colour doesn't bother me, at the end of the day I mostly watch TV and not the TiVo graphics. I guess technically it saves energy on LED TV's as the plum is not as bright as the old red. This maybe far fetched but feasible.

I didn't like the fact there is less room for the show title in my shows but I did read in this thread that you can remove the categories in my shows so the format is the same as the old way. I'll need to decide which to keep, if I use the categories enough then I'll live with the reduced title space.

Speed is the same on my TiVo, I'm used to this so at least it's not worse.

All we're really talking about here is change, some people embrace it whilst others despise it.

Dates aren't announced in advance.

Incidentally, area 04 is the billing system number, but it's the headend that matters.

Any idea when Belfast will be updated?
