Where the v+ is unstable is the updates after midnight. Other than that it rarely throws a wobbly other than going a bit unstable using vod menus but this rarely properly crashes it requiring a reboot, it normally recovers eventually. Compared to my old Pace box it is extremely stable. I think overall the SA box I had was more stable and handled vod menus better but it wasn't the lighting quick box that in comparison that others seem to make out. The other day I timed on a stopwatch how long it took to get into music on demand to play a particular track awkwardly placed in the middle and it took 3 minutes 40 seconds. This was very disappointing but was mostly down to some of the menus depressions taking 15 seconds to load a new page whereas most of the time it's 3-4 seconds. If you play a better placed programme or music videos it's less than a minute.

I've never needed to reformat my v+.
