If they suddenly get a load of boxes failing they will stop the update till they work it out

It also allows you to hard reset the box by holding down the power button on the front (you don't have to turn it off at the plug anymore)

Woo-Hoo!!!

Woo-Hoo!!!

Mine was still 11.1.8_ukcable (One a Samsung SMT-2100C) until a hard reboot (I pulled the power cable out for 30 seconds and put it back in, lo and behold the system told me it was being upgraded and now I have version 13.100.1_ukcable, will test the new features ASAP.

Thanks for the heads up guys.

The injustice of it. People in 'B' for Biggleswade getting the upgrade before people in 'A' for Aylesbury. I may as well be living in 'Z' for Zimbabwe!

Has Cambridge been done yet?

Sorry, you come under 'W' for Watford.

Cambridge hasn't been done yet, either.

Well my Samsung is still on 11.1.8_ukcable, when I look in the techy stuff menu it just lists a load of TFTP put errors. Lots of them every day. Also for some odd reason my credit is Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£30.16p just seems like an odd number.

(177) Tftp Put fail: data write error
(177) Tftp Put fail: data write error
(177) Tftp Put fail: data write error
(176) Tftp Put fail: network not ready
(177) Tftp Put fail: data write error

Might try to force an update later

Oh and there's another one "IPPTV ERROR"

This is all from memory, so it might not be IPPTV, but it's along those lines.

That's all completely normal.

Don't force an update - you just risk breaking the box. If there is an update available in your area, a simple reboot will pick it up. If there is no update, forcing it won't help.

Update went through on Teesside when I did a hard reset due to BBCi not working.

I know I'm 'virtually' in Watford. I was going to say that in the original post but I was too embarassed

to admit it. Still have only the old 11.1.8.2_ukcable here though. I bet they have the new software in Aarhus (in the middle of Denmark - thank you Suggs and Madness)

Woo-Hoo!!! Three hours later I tried another reboot and now I have the 13.100.1_ukcable software! I enjoyed watching the display on the STB front panel during the update. It's better than some of the programmes on TV

. So far all I've noticed is that there is one less Settings / Technical Stuff screen (not sure what's missing) and the STB displays more status information on startup. Nice to see the LEDs being used for something other than the name PACE and the current channel number. How about the time of day?

I've tried the 'press and hold' of the power / standby button to do a cold boot. More "Woo-Hoo!!!". That's a major improvement. Rather foolishly, knowing that this was coming, I still went and purchased a remote control 3-pin power socket yesterday (Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£4.49 from Maplin) for that very purpose. Oh well. I may have another use for it and, anyway, it still allows me to reboot from the comfort of the sofa.

I have cancelled a reminder from both the TV Guide and the Mini Guide. Just press OK|Select on the programme to initiate the cancel reminder dialogue in the same way as the set reminder works. Also "Woo-Hoo!!!". Shame you can't get straight to the reminders screen from the Mini Guide by, say, pressing Yellow. It would also be nice if programmes that had a reminder set were flagged in the TV Guide and Mini Guide (an asterisk or similar would suffice).

The reminders area still needs a lot of work. The reminder appears to be associated with the time only, so if you set a reminder for Mythbusters at 15:00 on DMAX channel 197, you can cancel it by pressing OK|Select on Mythbusters at 15:00 on Discovery Science channel 219 (or any other programme at 15:00) and it does not set a reminder for the latter in its place. Still, it's a big improvement.

Just rebooted my V Box and got the 13.130.1_ukcable update.

I'm in Gosport, Hampshire (Solent (Area 20)).

BTW, when does the V+ Boxes get a similar update (ie: subtitles on music channels, etc) ?

If you V+ Box has got the following numbers 11.3.2_ukcable it has been updated.
