Yeah, a few times during the recent cricket on SSHD1 I've paused the live TV for a couple of minutes then come back. When resuming, occasionally the box will get itself into a mess and skip a few seconds before eventually catching up with itself. Not a major issue, but annoying when watching live sport.
Never had these problems with SD channels in the past, only noticed it on HD channels.

Not that I'm claiming any knowledge on this, but surely there's some code in the firmware which is telling the box exactly when to begin the EPG information grab, a time that could be changed to later on in the early hours. It seems logical, but maybe I'm taking a too simplistic view of the issue.
It was probably a bit harsh to mention the lack of a dynamic EPG as a bug, it's not a bug, just the lack of a pretty essential feature.
