Battery manufacturers love it. Scrolling through hundreds of pages of pics wears out the batteries in the remote so much faster!

The V6 gives you the choice, don't other systems?

Wondering if anyone else is having issues with the TLC channel since the channel revamp and move? its almost as though it is lagging and freezing like the old days of buffering?

Pause live TV for a short while and watch delayed - this is also a recording and uses your HDD in the exact same way.

If this confirms HDD issues, then further issues and eventual failure will only be a matter of time.

Yes, mine keeps stuttering for a second every now and then but it only started a couple of days ago for me.

I might have known that there would be more daft comments coming my way sooner or later from olde worlde posters who have difficulty embracing anything new.

The picture menus make programmes easier to identify. You can get through rows of tiles in no time using this method. And of course descriptions of the content are also given if you want to know more about a particular programme.

If people prefer lists, that’s fine, a choice is available. Intolerance for people who have different views is not a virtue.

The 360 enables you to view tiles or lists to view your recordings.

You really are a muppet. If you want to see lots of daft comments, try reading your own posts.

As the saying goes, people often confuse New with Improved.

The tendency to confuse "new" with "improved" is a well-documented psychological and marketing phenomenon, often driven by the assumption that the latest version of a product or service is inherently better.
