Can i just say congratulations to tiscali for doing an amazing update to the tiscali box, the epg is 100% better, more modern, very responsive and extremely crisp via hdmi, im liking the new search facility via vmx music too, it brings up what you are wanting before you have even finished typing, very clever!
I know you cant please everyone but im a very happy tiscali customer right now, in fact ive harped on that much about how good you are ive managed to talk my parents into signing up with you, do i get commission?:D

I agree with you 100%.
Although I have always sang Tiscali TVs praises. It is a brilliant service and always has been. I try and sell it to other people at every opportunity. Problem is I always get blank looks because people have never heard of it.
The EPG has now put the icing on the cake. It is the best digital TV service in this country by a mile.
I just wish Tiscali (or Talk Talk now) would put aside a few million quid for some kind of advertising campaign.
I have never seen TTV advertised and it is a very curious situation.
Couldn't agree more - I'm only looking at it on an SD telly and the resolution is miles better, as is the usability and design.
I'm equally puzzled by the lack of advertising although I'm led to believe it's down to the fact that Tiscali wanted as many exchanges enabled for the service as possible before advertising it.
At risk of heading slightly OT (apologies) my praise for Tiscali has been somewhat tempered this evening by the fact that the box has locked up 3 times so far whilst watching programmes off the hard drive - requiring a reboot each time. It didn't do this before the software update - anyone else had this..?
Shame really as it's spoiled a nice improvement to the service.
However, on the negative side, I am very disappointed that the, ‘pan and scan’ setting has disappeared from TV setup. I have a CRT 25”, ‘square’ screen TV. Since the new setup, I have tried all three possible Widescreen TV Options - (i) Standard (4:3); (ii) Widescreen and 4:3 stretched; (iii) Original aspect ratio. Depending on the option and TV programme, the picture has either a black line at the top and bottom or it looks very noticeably stretched or squashed. (Eg. Newsreaders faces are more oval.) I did not have such noticeable problems with the old setup. At present, I am reluctant to buy a widescreen TV. I feel my current TV can last a few more years and I have been very happy with its picture quality.
Hope you're not speaking too soon, my box has now started to crash when I change channels, a lot like my old Nokia Freeview box used to do and that got great reviews as well until people actually used the thing in the real world. Never did fix the dodgy software either.
