Hi,
Is the software update available for forced download yet?
Or does anyone know when it will be?
I have a Pace box with these details.
Model 222.4.5
Version 9F3004
O/S 1.32B12
EPG sky+9.10.13a

Thanks

    Will not be until all Pace boxes have had it.

    Our version has not yet, so there are clearly some still on the old software.

    They keep the old software as default until all types have successfully got the new version in case there are problems. Then effected boxes can back track to the old software to get them working

    And, of course, there have been issues on some other boxes!

    A few things of no great importance: The LED rotating lights can now be switched off and a few other tweeks.

    It's mainly the new Anytime+ update for sometime in the future when they decide that they will allow you to get the service others are already getting.

    But as the old saying goes...

    (Might have reworded that a bit!)

    I've got a late model Thomson (V. 4E3011) that's on OS 1.32B12 & EPG V. 8.3.2

    Have I somehow missed the upgrade or will there be no more Thomson upgrades ?

    Wow, it only took them a year. They are getting quicker.

    The Thomson boxes aren't due for the upgrade yet.

    Sky's explanation of what this latest software update is for. From: http://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-HD-Sky-3D/non-1TB-box-lock-ups-since-new-software/td-p/1853/page/10

    We downloaded a software update to Samsung HD boxes last week. This was a performance improvement release which also contained a number of bug fixes. We are intending to download this to other boxes this week, including the 1TB, but this will take a few weeks to complete. We will also be making this available on the DR stream from next week for all boxes running the new software.

    Further fixes are in the pipeline and another 1TB software update will follow shortly.

    My understanding is that its primarily a stability update for boxes that have already had the anytime+ update. As the original update caused lots of crashes, empty planners, BSOD etc.
