OK well I guess, like many, I've been using the new software for a couple of weeks now, and I have some comments, some of which may be related to the age of my box box I guess....

1. Lip sync. I know this used to happen every now and then, but it appears to go out of sync several times a week now under the new software. Skipping up to the next channel then back down cures it, but it is a little ittitating.

2. Box freezing. Has happened several times since new software. Sometimes it needs a reboot, sometimes it just stalls for a minute or so then catches up. Seems particularly prone to doing this when using the mini-guide to scroll up channel lists (not chainging channel at the same time).

3. Speed of EPG. Seems far far slower than the previous. I guess it's doing a lot more than the previous so it's not much of a bug-bear, but again a little irritating.

4. Channel ordering. Great idea in principle, but now we have so many channels it would take hours to put them in the order you want - so I've left them alone! Can I still do favourite channels and group these at the top by the way? I don't seem to be able to find this function like before.

Hopefully this can be used as constructive feedback on the system by someone. Any comments?
