Re: V+ Goes Really slow at night time

Hi

Exactly the same problem here and has been ever since I got the V+ box. Surely (as Paranoimia suggests) 3am or 4am would be less likely to inconvenience V+ customers!

The update can cause other problems too. A few days ago I watched as an update caused 3 reboots, one immediately after the other. I was less than impressed with the recording I was making at the time which got split into 3 sections.

Another bugbear of mine is the EPG. In general I think it is fine, but I still find it hard to understand why all this high tec wizardry can't ensure that my recordings actually start and end at the correct times - something Video Plus managed to do over 20 years ago!

I wonder if the new Tivo system will address these problems? Will Virgin Media ever release a V+ Box with a DVD drive so that archiving can be done faster than real time? Does Virgin Media care about it's customer frustrations?

(Sorry Rant over)
