What is more likely?

An automated overnight process runs to activate changes

or

Someone gets to the office and logs on to his computer, loads the appropriate system, then presses an "activation" option?

Either way, the process has failed

Yes, it’s up and running and looking good. The link to the content via the Virgin menu is not yet established, but I’m sure it will be there before long. At the moment you have to go to the app for access.

I’m just re-booting my box in case that’s all it needs.

Plenty to watch on here.

Not really. It launched today, as promised. Nobody said anything about launching at midnight.

It was late by any standard. People woke up to find it wasn't there.

I would guess the second option is more likely, someone has to say "go".

True, though if it's something that HAS to be done overnight, the "go" decision will happen the day before.

Plus there's no point automating something that only needs to be done once - it just adds work and risk.

And if possible you want to do it when most support staff are available in case something goes wrong.

Do a anyone know why BBC iPlayer has been removed from the Channels menu under TV Shows on the 360.

BBC iPlayer is still accessible in the Apps section, so I can't think of any logical reason why it's been removed from the main Channels menu.

Is anyone else finding that AD is on when off is selected and off when on is selected on ITV?

Yes, we've found that is happening with recordings from ITV+1.

Still issues

Only the new HBO French original series Privileges shows up and works via search, other new series like The Pitt bring up a error code for example and other series and movies don't show as being available on HBO Max e.g The Cleaning Lady.
