Yes. This update is only for the standard V boxes. The V+ has already been updated with this software version

Re: V Boxes update
V+ Application Version is 11.3.2_ukcable
V Box Application Version is 13.100.1_ukcable*
* = If you have an ''PACE'' box you will need to restart your box. 'SA' will reboot on it own.

I've turned the box off every night for the past 3-4 years and it's done no harm. 
I'd rather not have the house go up in smoke.

Re: V Boxes update
No update here .. old Pace Di1000 ..
Application Version .. 11.1.8.2_ukcable
Edit .. something else just occured to me .. I also have an old Pace Di1010 which unfortunately has the old Telewest menu setup (the 3x3 blocky style of menu rather than the list style) .. if I left this plugged in overnight, would it update to the new Virgin software?
It would be real handy if it did, because the Di1000 is a bit of an old dog .. very slow and needs re-booting quite a lot! .. even though it has the newer style of menus ..
Can anyone confirm this would be OK or not?

Re: V Boxes update
If you haven't had the Virgin software update, you need the box swapped out.
All STBs should have the Virgin software on it. I thought the last ones that couldn't be updated were got rid of in Autumn last year!!!!
Phone faults and let them know. You will probably end up with a Samsung

Re: V Boxes update
Not one that can be published. The reason is that dates may be changed depending on the reports they get back with progress so far.
If they suddenly get a load of boxes failing they will stop the update till they work it out

Re: V Boxes update
i think reason for gap between updates to V+ and normal V stb was some bug they needed to correct before the software was released so i hear

Re: V Boxes update
I re-booted my V Box last night and recieved the upgrade (Essex).
However should my box still show the ntl:home loading screen. Also it shows no channels listed in the Shop & Play or High Definition sections of the TV Guide.
I'm really glad that I can now get digital subtitles on the music channels! Well most of them, I haven't them on The Hits, The Box and Kiss and they seem to lag behind the song on Smash Hits and Magic.

Unfortunately that's built into the box and can't be changed.

That needs some tweaking to be done at the headend. Possibly it can't be done until everyone has got the new software.
