However, i've just set my box to clear 'Programme information & Planned Recordings'. It said that this could take up to an hour.

What's actually happened is that it rebooted and i've now got another screen that says:

"Installing software. Do not turn off the power".

Is this what your screen says?

I wonder if another update has been sent that only becomes available when the box is rebooted?

Edit: It took about 12 minutes and the screen now says:

"Clearing your data...

The guide and Planned Recordings are now being reset.

Sit tight, this might take a few minutes".

Is this the software intended to speed up the existing boxes prior to the introduction of the new box?

Edit 2: It took about eight minutes and is now rebooting, so I think your box might have become stuck Ultimate.
