Cheers for that.Looks like a format is on the cards then!

I rang cust faults and they are aware of the problem and said it will be sorted "soon".I don't think the lady I spoke to really understood my problem was unique to an upgraded box though!The remote lagging is a known issue but not this bad!

I reformatted mine and has been fine.

I issue that arose last night was using the guide the small picture went black, this then appeared to be the case on all channels, even thought the guide and all menus worked. Reset the box and was ok again, only problem was I was recording a movie, so messed up my recording!!

grabbi · 09-02-2007, 14:23

Mine seems ok now.

No improvement in the EPG speed, or channel changing.

The interactive services need enabling by Customer Services and mine wasn't, so that's that problem sorted out.

Just waiting on them coming through, so I can browse the football news while watching the Beeb... not that anything good is on the Beeb anyways.... lol

Now lets see if it sorts the problems out,

If I follow your instructions the display turns to E00 after holding the play button, when I try the channel down pushes it changes to Stop or Quit.
Any ideas?

Sorry, I was supposed to post that when I was throwing it against the wall.

Sorry.

Make sure you let us know what it reacts like when you Reformat the HDD.

did you get your interactive features working?

hope you have tna set up for next wed against all odds 4hours this will test the +.

grabbi · 10-02-2007, 04:27

Nope.

Was on Phone for 90 mins.

Went to 3 separate Indian people who didn't have a clue about V+, then got through to an english woman, who put my through to Scotland, and a V+ trained woman...

This woman, sent the signals again, but they aren't here.

I called at 3pm and asked the same thing, and the dude said 1 hour, but usually instantly.

I will be booking TNA in, and if it doesn't record it, I'm getting rid.

lol

I'm calling up again tomorrow and stating I'm not paying for not being able to watch Movies 9, or access content which is available to me via other means.

A useful note:

In one of the menus, under More TV, you can access Interactive menus for Living TV and the Bbc amongst others, but I want to simply press red... and I can't.

Good job this isn't a Sky Sports Interactive problem.

I'D rather not have that than for it to be there, but be unaccessable.

Driving me mad.

Oh great, its starting again.

No info on channels, no response on remote, no ability to power off.

funny... I didn't have any problems before launch day. just no interactive...

---------- Post added at 04:27 ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 ----------

Oh dear...

the countup is now on.

its pretending I have pressed pause, and the timer has come on the LCD on the front... but I haven't.

I'm watching BBC 1, as I have been since the thing cocked up, so I pressed pause for real.

Now, Please Wait, just loading...

its confused itself.

It was resting, but I woke it up, and that happened.

this gets funnier and funnier.

I might start a blog of all these problems. lol

Since reformatting the box everything seems to be fine. Navigating through the menus is a breeze, on demand and interactive works, and the only slight grumble was the midnight remote lag, but this was no where near as pronounced as before. Having said this I haven't recorded anything since reformating and am still a bit peeved about losing all my previously recorded content.

reformatted, lost all my series links, had already had 40 hours of recordings lost.
midnight lag is just as bad, remote lock-ups worse BBCi was working before still working but no real improvements to be seen.

SteveNotts · 12-02-2007, 09:22

Well I took the plunge and formatted yesterday!

It has made a massive difference to the remote locking.It was locking every 60 seconds and since the format it hasnt locked once.

Only time will tell
