Hi
This TV Drive box has all the hallmarks of having an Intel Celeron processor (slow), and Microsoft software (full of bugs). The thing will go into a service routine (especially at 01:15 am), and then totally ignor user inputs for a time. It will then act on all the key presses once the said routine is completed. At this point I feel like executing my own code with a mallet! Isn't it nice when you rewind a recording, only to find you then can't stop it because it's now busy doing some (software) house keeping. If my PC can multi-task, then surely this ruddy box can.

Telewest. Please listen to your customers. Own the problem and, please tell us what you are doing to remedy this software issue. I've know beta release S/W to have less bugs than this.
