thanks i'l see if its the same on mine.

Re: V Boxes update
 

I got it on my V+ Box weeks ago

Re: V Boxes update
 

yep iv got the same software version as you & iv always had subtites on VM's channels & UKTV channels.

Re: V Boxes update
 

The update converts all channels that were using 888 (VBI) subtitles to digital subtitles.

It also allows you to hard reset the box by holding down the power button on the front (you don't have to turn it off at the plug anymore)

Re: V Boxes update
 

thanks for the info :o)

Re: V Boxes update
 

And you can cancel reminders the same way as you set them.

Re: V Boxes update
 

Is this an ex-telewest thing? I am still on 11.3.2_ukcable. I have subtitles on Virgin 1 though...

Re: V Boxes update
 

No it is a region thing. Both ex-ntl and ex-tw are being updated

Re: V Boxes update
 

im Ex-Telewest.

Mine updated when I switched the set top box on this evening;

Application version - 13.100.1_ukcable

Re: the subtitles - one thing I've just noticed is when you switch them on from the mini guide bar it prompts you with "Are you sure you want to turn subtitles on?".

Other things I've noticed;

- Reminders can now be unset via the OK button with the mini guide bar up (as mentioned in a post above)

- The programme information popup is much bigger (unless it's just my imagination?) giving more room to fit in long programme descriptions and names

- It seems to flick through the channels faster when using the left and right arrows

- All the menus just seem quicker (again, this might just be my imagination)

- iPlayer seems to load quicker

Re: V Boxes update
 

? why did you switch it off ? your meant to leave it on 24/7 uno ;)

Re: V Boxes update
 

If you have an ''PACE'' box you may need to restart you box to get the update.

Re: V Boxes update
 

Strange, I leave mine on 24/7 it never upgrades .So when I see upgrade here I switch off at least 48 hrs after the post here. The upgrade up to new seems to happen, But only if left off over night. Switch couple of minutes & switch back on do not seem to work.

PS Its a sammy

Re: V Boxes update
 

Not all areas have got the upgrade. It is being rolled out staged area by area
