Nor Realplayer.

Sorry Richard, couldn't resist.

My 360 boxes have had a software update overnight to version 4.34. I have only had the briefest of looks but at first glance it seems that there are a few more options for selecting catch-up programmes and also for organizing recorded shows. I was secretly hoping that any update would include the All4 app - but no luck.

Long thread but I'm not sure this has been answered. So - here goes:

In SETTINGS/SYSTEM do a factory reset on the Mini and the V6. That sorted it out for me.

Hi all,

Apologies ive not been on this forum for a bit and being totally honest I havent read all of this thread.

We are really liking our 360 however there odes seem one lack of functionality regarding series links. the old box allowed you to select only new episodes whilst the 360 seems to default to everything.

Have a missed something in the options ?

otherwise its great, I use the voice remote way more than I thought and its smaller to boot.

Happy New year all

The series links option gives you all available series. Once you start watching, the system remembers what you have seen, and you can delete it once seen, and the watchlist will indicate what you have watched (on the 360), so it’s easy enough to see where you are.

It just works a different way.

Keep reading about 360 can't say I have noticed anything worth changing for but will keep looking . Unless I quit due to price rise . Not advised as yet .

Just switched to 360. I assumed it would have Wishlists.

How naive of me.

You can search for everything that is available, but not for what is not available. Suits me, frankly.

The WATCHLIST works in a similar way to the old TiVo Wishlist or Bookmarks, but only for content that is available in the epg, stream, catch up, or in the apps etc. Search for a title and it will list all available content or episodes and where they are available to view then select to Add To Watchlist for easy finding and viewing later. Took me a while to get used to it but mastered it now. Its now my most used feature!

Just received my 360 box. But have we lost the ability to search Netflix, and series links for netflix.
If i do a search, all i get is youtube stuff.
Must admit this is something i use a lot, and will be a pain if we loose that

To be fair searching Netflix titles also doesn’t work on the Virgin Media stream box neither does adding Netflix shows to your watchlist. Not sure who’s at fault here but I’d guess at Netflix not wanting you to search or add to watchlist outside of their own app.

[lemarsh]

ok - but i could have (and did have before i lost them, which i knew would happen) Netflix series links, which each episode. But looks like that feature has gone. Pity
See I can do Dinsey+ watchlists, although not sure what a watchlist is so far!

[RobboEdin]

Try navigating to the drop-down that says ‘All’ and change it to ‘Netflix’.
Netflix want to be searched separately.
