Thanks. That's good to hear. In fairness I've never been caught by an epg change but it would be an improvement if they were to introduce a dynamic epg.

This is what I don't understand what happens to V+ users as I believe the current deal for EPG software ends in Jan 11 and TIVO won't work on V+.

The full TiVo experience won't, no. I'm guessing there will be a "TiVo-esque" upgrade to V+ to make it more attractive, but nothing has been confirmed regarding this.

Hello. I've read CF for years, but only just signed up to post  I have an EPG glitch to report. On weekdays mornings on channel five there's missing programme information. I only know this because I used to record Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends for my son, but I'm having to do a manual recording at the moment which is a bit of a pain because I can't make them repeat.. It's on around 8:30am.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010) Vol. IV
I can't wait to get the new TIVO box, I wish it was out next week! The software on the V+ box is sooooo outdated. As is the box and it's hideously small HDD.
1TB HDD that's more like it!!

Thanks  No I've not tried the audio desc channel. Come to think of it I haven't tried five HD either so will check tonight. I don't really want to waste so much space on HD Thomas if I can help it so I'll try 855 first.

Hi and
Yeah I've seen that before. I've seen a ticket raised for it too, but it was a while back.
I'll get it looked at again when I'm in the office next.
EDIT: replicated here at home too... no EPG data between 8:30am - 9am weekdays. same on 855

I think it looks quite nice and much better then what we currently have.
Edit: Okay I see Nialli posted this on his blog earlier in the day.

Wow, looks like my mockup from March was close.
Infact, looking at it I would put money on that being a mockup just with some more time spent on it (mine was about 15mins worth).
Look at the "now playing window" in the top right, same as mine!
