We got so hacked off we cancelled it and the phone. Humax Freeview+ works nicely and we save £19/month.

I have the upgrade and it is noticably quicker.
Now if they can just sort out the annoying thing of On Demand asking for a pin number for programmes broadcast after 20:00 when watching them earlier, despite me having parental control switched off, I will be happy.

I rebooted my box and epg navigation seems quicker but the YouTube app is still horrendous taking ages to load up and hanging.

Thank goodness I have it on my smart tv where it is lightning fast!

Update in Poole about an hour ago. And speed is definitely faster. I was getting a lot of hanging black screens the last couple of months or so. It wasn't too bad right after the last update, but has been getting worse.

If it's for Sky movies that won't go away. It shouldn't be asking for regular channels if you have it turned off.

I've found that the combination of the cache clearing (see: http://vmhd.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/b...s-running.html) and software update have made my TiVo far more usable, as does the little shortcut of just pressing Play to view a recording rather than OK (which brings up an unnecessary info screen) then OK again.

Certainly, quicker with this update the menu changes are noticeably improved speed wise

For example, watched an episode of the new series of The Big Bang Theory (broadcast 8.30) at 10 in the morning on catchup. Asked for the pin

Had the same happen for WWE raw the other day when I was flicking through sky sports channels.

Mine just randomly shut down, seemed to get to the starting up screen 2 or 3 times on a loop

Was about to call VM when it decided to power up again, still don't have that new software number so can't have been that

I had v...24 for about 2 weeks now. Initially it was back to before the botched update but now it is back to waiting 10+ seconds for anything to happen. Of course the apps remain unusable. I wonder if it is just to take the heat away whilst launch the new one?

This has been my experience also. My box was back to the Pre-plumb performance for a week or so but has slowed dramatically again.

It doesn't instill confidence that the same core software is also what the V6 will be running.
