Cable Forum - View Single Post - Begun, this Virginercation Has [Firmware Review!]

I'm also in Coventry and got this new firmware yesterday, it's definitely faster than the old firmware - less lag when pressing buttons, switching channels seems a bit quicker than before, and redrawing the selection boxes and so on in the menus isn't noticeable any more. Plus, no more "Please wait" for 20-30 seconds when entering the TV guide is a great improvement. I wish I could reorder channels again though - I don't need to see BBC HD in the list as neither the box nor my TV are capable of showing it.

There does seem to be a bug in the VOD system. If I choose Catch Up TV On Demand > BBC, then select Th18 as the day, six programmes are listed, and the first one is highlighted by default, and I can watch it by pressing OK. However, pressing Down, which you assume would highlight the second programme in the list, actually advances forward one day - I can't figure out how to view any programme except the first one listed! This bug also happens on Mo15, but if I go back to Su14, I can select either of the programmes. Very strange.

Also, on some of the VOD pages, the page number display says "Pg1/1" and on others it says "Pg1/0". This doesn't seem to correspond with the selection bug though.
