    Hasnt it been nearly a month since they started on the DRX890/895 boxes?

    Not quite sure the point you are making in response to my post which you quote but that related to the Samsung HDSKY box. The Samsung is not a DRX890/895 box. I haven't heard of anyone else having previously had the upgrade on a Samsung or seen reference to firmware version R009.066.82.00P before.

    I presume he quoted you, as the original roll out stated 890/895 within a few weeks, Samsung & Pace within the next few months, thus implying that as it's been a month, those boxes have started updating, thus your box got the update.

    I have three DRX890's on multi-screen. One updated a week ago and one last night. I would imagine the other one will be updated soon.

    I do not think you will find anyone here that can give you an answer to that one, be patient it will come eventually, I am sure, there are a great number of boxes and the update them in batches depending how confident Sky are to the stability of the download, if it appears OK then I think they will increase download batch numbers accordingly

    Im sure that the Samsung boxes were supposed to start updates, along with DRX780 and Pace boxes, about a month after the DRX890/895 started.

    My box has been updated but it's now two RC ikeysrokes to get to TV guide rather than the prefious one keystroke. Seems small but irritating. I want to go straight to TV guide. Is this nwo impossible?

    No.

    If you are watching a channel just press "back up" once and it takes you straight to the TV Guide highlighting the channel and programme you are currently watching.

    It said a few weeks, a few weeks ago.

    Why do Sky lie to their customers?
    Is an accurate timetable an impossibility?

    Apparently this is a big step and an annoying one to its customers
    we will of course get used to it but as sky doesn't care nor listen to customers never mind feedback I'm not shocked!!!

    Press the big SKY button, that has always returned you to the live channel you are on.

    Mine updated at 2:10. Always does it when i'm watching something!
    Don't see why it can't be scheduled or a on screen message asking if you want to start the upgrade now or postpone it for 1h, 2h, 3h etc.


    It's a bit different isn't it. I guess it'll take a day or two to get used to the new format/style.
