Don't know why you are dumbstruck by the lack of improvements. Being the pessimist you are, surely this was to be expected?!?;):)

Anyway of stopping the HMDI IS NOT AVAILABLE message popping up every 15 minutes or so?

I don't like it saying "Waking up" everytime I take it off stand by though! Why it couldn't just come on straight away like before is beyond me.

I think it will do if you turn off the power saving features.

Because it now has to restart the hard drive and start buffering 3 tuners, the only thing in standby before the update was the picture and sound. I personally would be more worried if it said nothing at all, just had a blank screen whilst what is basically booting up.

Make sure you haven't got a SCART lead connected between the TiVo and TV. If that's not the cause, you'll need to give the VM Faults team a call.

And you didn't think of doing that as the first option? No, far better option is to have a moan I suppose.
