VOD - Beware!

Since the latest code drop introducing the new EPG on V+, I find that playing any on demand content results in the clock going fast - so far its been by 18 minutes on each occasion. This means that planned recordings are screwed up - starting and finishing too early. Is there any Virgin Media staff who know if this is an identified software fault that’s going to be fixed in a future software update? Every time it happens it requires a reset to get the clock back to the correct time.

Re: VOD - Beware!

i kinda have a similar problem that in when i am watching anything from the OD the clock jumps froward months !!!!

I look the other day and it said it was 6.30am on the 25 May 2007!! When it was about 2.30pm 10/02/07!!!

Did try speaking to faults but got put through to an Indian Call centre and they where about as much use as a Chocolate fireguard !!!

Works OK for me - I've just been watching some of the Green Wing from VOD and the time and date on my V+ are fine. Plus, the series link recording I setup for Prison Break started on time.

True, but it doesn't help in this case. I need to know which town the fault is in.

Re: VOD - Beware!

I have noticed this today, my clock jump forward 10 minutes after watching Top Gear on VOD.

I'm in Northampton (Langley)

Reset the box and the time returned to normal.

Annoying though. Remote is also being slow, even after I reformatted the HDD last week after the new EPG was uploaded.
