Yes, sometimes, especially just after you've changed channel, you get the information for the previous channel or no information at all. The problem I have has been going on for months and I've only observed it with CSI on Living and Living +1. It has gone off the screen now for today so I can't quote exactly but it says something like "Series about a team of Crime Scene Investigators." with no other useful information about the particular episode. The information for CSI: Miami on Living is fine and the information for CSI on other channels is too.
Anyway, that was a somewhat off-topic comment I attached to the end of a valid post so I won't carry it any further.

Certain programs can't be copied off the V+ box due to copyright issues. They can all sit on the box for as long as you like -- in practice the 160GB limit on the box stops you from keeping programs for long.

The Five DOG is off screen a bit though. It's set too far in the corner.

I have a wide-screen CRT TV with a Pace Di4000-N V Box and the digital on-screen graphic is almost off-screen. I don't know what it would be like if the STB was switched to 4:3 or I connected my non-wide-screen TV.
Is Demand Five definitely setting the Aspect Ratio pin correctly on the SCART socket? When I was watching The Mentalist there was no obvious change in aspect ratio between the lead-in adverts ending and the programme starting and the DOG was right up against the top and left-hand edges of the tube. I assume that The Mentalist is recorded and broadcast in wide-screen and possibly even in HD where applicable.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
As far as I can tell, Demand Five is formatted correctly. They've just put the DOG really close to the edge of the 16:9 frame.
I bought a CRT in 2002. I reckon it's still got a good 10 to 15 years left in it.

Can you list those programmes because AFAIK any recording can be copied to DVD/VHS via SCART?
You cannot copy VOD programming on any STB.

Yeah can on at least some of the old V boxes. My mum used to record On Demand content to a hard drive recorder all the time before my parents got a V+.

It seems to me just delete all other threads and have this one as everyone seems to post what they want in here.
It seems to have gone from a thread talking about what channels will be coming soon or even going to a free for all for anything.
I think there should be a Tivo thread all of it's own but it seems it's just being bundled up in here.
