Firstly it seems like when they launched it looked good but then they just left it and don't want to update it or anything. Like all the channels were in some sort of logical order but now with the addition of all the new channels they havenââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t bothered to re arrange them like, Sky Sports Xtra and Sky Sports News, why are they not right next to Sky Sports 3. Also E4 is 144 and E4+1 is 145 yet when you press channel up when you are on E4 (144) it doesnââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t go to 145. I don't know about any one else but these are little things that cause big annoyance.

I believe channel renumbering is in the pipeline but this would be a huge project (imagine people's confusing when they try to tune to their normal channel number and get something completely different.)

If i press channel up on E4 i get E4+1 - have you rearranged your channel order? because if so it will go to the next channel in your order rather than the next numerically.

Also the lack of interactive features and the reliability of it. On paper it seems like a good idea it all comes down the one cable and you don't need to plug your phone line in so why is it so unreliable.

have to agree with you on this- interactive on freeview is much better

Also since I got digital not long after it was released it doesnââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t seem to have changed very much. Like the firmware doesnââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t seem to have been upgraded.

There have been a number of updates... for example in the last year CR3 was released and this was a major update from the old CR2 software. There are also beta tests of new software taking place at the moment.

My main moan is the bit about the TV channels it just seems like it wouldn't take much effort on there part, but customers would appreciate it allot. I mean I don't even know what the channel numbers are for the other music channels that are hiding some where in between all the other channels.

I see your point, but as i said it would be a massive project and cause confusion to a lot of customers. Personally, there are only about 10 channels that i watch reguarly and i know the numbers of these of by heart anyway. there is also the option to rearrange the channels into the order you want, so this allows people to put all their favourites at the beginning of the list, or indeed to chose any order they like

Thank You for letting me let off a bit of steam.

Any input or if I have triggered any one else off then any comments would be great. Any solutions would be even more welcomed.



Thanks
