Re: V Boxes update
 

Does anyone have a list of which areas have been done?

Re: V Boxes update
 

Not unless someone tracks it on here. Virgin do not release the information for reasons I have already said

Re: V Boxes update
 

Box upgraded on switch on yesterday ( First time as I recall with out me switching off the power) Any way , & Iam sorry to be slow - but whats changed.Clearly its nothing I use - but it would be nice to know.

Re: V Boxes update
 

Just checked again after re-boot .. nothing here yet in Medway area (old Telewest)

old Pace Di1000 ..
Application Version .. 11.1.8.2_ukcable

Re: V Boxes update
 

hardly anything visable tbh has changed, maybe the ability to set reminders via the mini guide or remove them too is an update [whooppi you say lol]

think it just fixes a few internal bugs but might be wrong?

Not unless you can sleep while your bedreoom is lit up like Blackpool Illuminations! Always switch mine off!

Re: V Boxes update
 

Still no upgrade on my old PACE box ... ME7 postcode ..

Re: V Boxes update
 

The Pace 1000s in ex-Telewest areas are not being sent this software because it was causing some of them to fail. If your service is working OK, don't worry about it. (If it's not working, report it to VM)

Thanks spiderplant!
To be honest I don't use the TV service that much .. quite happy with my Sony DVD/HD recorder with built-in freeview .. and it's not as if were bombarded with good un-missable viewing these days!

My Pace DiTV2000 STB was giving trouble yesterday. It locked up on Hallmark (190) with a frozen picture, no sound and wouldn't respond to the remote or front panel controls (even the LED didn't blink when a button was pressed) so a warm reboot wasn't possible. I powered off and on but it was coming up with the dreaded 'Err3' which I believe implies a memory fault and usually requires a replacement box.

I persevered however and, after a few attempts at rebooting, the box eventually displayed a screen saying "Do not switch off ... your software is being updated" (or similar). Lo and behold!, after a few minutes, all was well again. I did have a problem later that evening but the symptoms were different and something I had seen before and knew how to fix so it may be unrelated or it could be the signs of an ageing box.

The point being that it seemed to download the same version of the software as I already had. So, it appears that the box eventually recognised that the software had become corrupt and needed to be reloaded.

However, is there a way to force a reload in situations where the box is slow to diagnose the fault?

Hardware Type: DiTV2000
Hardware Version: P2.18
Software Version: 13.100.1_ukcable
Application Version: 3_6_11_P10N_P_P2000_R_
QOS: copper.cm

Re: V Boxes update
 

You don't need to force it. It checks the software every time you reboot, so you simply need to reboot. If the software is corrupt, it will download again. If it isn't, you've got nothing to worry about.

Whatever, you should ring VM to report the fault. Just tell them you are getting "Err3" on the front panel.

Re: V Boxes update
 

My hardware versions have gone up.

Application version is 23.50.1p33/20080801r0..seriously that was it says
that cant be right.:erm:
my Software version is 3.2.5.1
HW Version1.7

Has anyone else since the update about 2 or 3 days ago.:erm:

Re: V Boxes update
 

I was updated a couple of days ago and my application version is just showing as 23.50.1p33 with SW and HW versions showing the same as your box.

Maybe you are just special.:)

Re: V Boxes update
 

Everybody with a V+ has (apart from those that got it a couple of weeks ago). Ignore the application version, 3.2.5.1 is the important bit.

The HW version may vary depending on how old your box is.

Re: V Boxes update
 

Yep, I got the same Application version as you. Suppose it doesn't make much odds as long as it works :-)
