Working in Brizzle this time. Had to reboot though. Hopefully won't have to do that every time?

ok thanks. Hope the issues are ironed out soon because even after a reboot it just freezes again. :(

Does it EVER work, Matt? I'm concerned Oldham may have the same problem that Bristol had.

Standard 1080. My TV is setup to display native 4:3 images correctly though, not in stretch-o-vision so that's what might be causing the red boxes to be displayed wrong. Box-generated graphics are displayed in 4:3.

Interesting. I wonder if the programmers at Sky are expecting that the VM boxes will switch to SD output for the multiscreen app and are therefore assuming an anamorphic picture. My parents' V+ is connnected via Scart and the boxes are correct there.

Still sticking on "Just a minute"? I was told it had been fixed late on Thursday night. Have you rebooted since then?

Re: sky sports red button
 
Yes,about 5 times.

Exactly, if Sky let VM have red button they have let them have it. But let them have it they have along with the vast majority of even their HD content. The old adage of Sky withholding things is just a bit daft now.

If everything red button wise isn't available just now I really seriously doubt it's Sky's fault.

To avoid specualtion let's wait until August then people can make their own minds up whether anything is being withheld.

Apologies if this has been covered already....

I see from the thread that some areas had freezing on the red button. I stay in Larkhall, South Lanarkshire and on 4 attempts to switch on the tennis yesterday I had a complete freeze, non reponsive to options and back to tv, and had to reboot. I gave up after that

I'm not that bothered about Red Button tbh (but if you pay for something that is available to you, you definitely want to make sure you can get it should something turn up that takes your fancy).

I'd love to tell you what box I have (in case it's a hardware issue) but I'm back at my desk in London and 470miles from my box....
