Cable Forum - View Single Post - When is the next software update planned?

Some things I would like to see in the next software update (for standard Virgin boxes anyway);

- The ability to disable 'press red' functionality or turn off the prompts (we used to have this option ages ago - why not now?)

- On Demand updates (fast forward and rewind speeds, chapter selection, playlists)

- Longer EPG (7 days - although it will probably never happen)

- Fix the bootup procedure so boxes (well, mine does anyway) don't display "ntl:home" followed by the Virgin Media screen (maybe the "ntl:home" screen is built into the box and not the software?)

- Enable audio description on the main channels so we don't have to have copies of them on the EPG (why does this happen anyway?) - surely they could use that space for new channel launches?

- Change the Sky Movies PIN system so once the PIN's been entered on one Sky Movies channel, the box remembers it when flicking up and down the channels - it's annoying having to enter it everytime we flick up or down a channel (maybe set a time limit on it so it remembers the PIN for 15 minutes or something)

- Digital Text (yes, a long shot I know)
