I'm sure it's been asked many times before but if the update is available via a forced update then that means that VM have made the update available on a server somewhere yes?
Are you saying that the steps the box goes through to do the forced update can break the box or that if it's not being updated via a normal reboot you shouldn't be force updating the box?
Surely forced update or not, if the software has been made available to the network, it's of good enough quality to be installed via whichever method?

Re: V Boxes update
Unlike the Sky boxes there is no way to 'force' an update on a cable STB. It will update next time it is rebooted if the update is avaliable, or in some circumstances Virgin will make the boxes reboot to update

Re: V Boxes update
No, there isn't. You can reboot the box all you like. If the update isn't on the server then it won't update. As soon as Virgin put the update on the server, the boxes will update.
Pretty simple really

Well I just rebooted my box and there was no update so I did a forced update <^> and it updated.
They must have put the update on the server at the very second I did the forced update

It will have just downloaded the same software that you already had.
