Whatever the explanation, you have the current software, so it looks like there hasn't been an update - at least not an official one. Several people (me included) are reporting improved performance, though. Are we all imagining it? I don't think so. I was particularly struck last Monday morning by how much more slickly my box seemed to be working, which is why I started the thread. Watch this space, I suppose.

I totally agree. Something has changed. My box is performing, like yours, in a substantially improved manner. Lets just be pleased!

The only explination I can think of is that the new Talk Talk player freed up some resources that were previously in short supply (like RAM) so the box is performing better without new SW.
I can't think how else the box can be working faster without a new SW version. |

That's a thought. It is as likely as any other explanation we have been able to come up with. Tried for the update again this morning. Still not there. If the sporting theory holds any water, it might be sometime in the next two weeks to slot in before the football kicks off.
Its a mystery all right, much more responsive to the remote than it was, but sadly it did freeze twice while FF through ad-breaks in one show! So that problem hasn't permanently gone away. |

Have you tried the commercial skip function (the other 'fast forward' buttons with two triangles below the regular ones)? This shunts the recording forward thirty seconds, so four presses sees you through a typical advert break. Best to allow half a second or so between each press.

I'll give the skip a try, but this is more of a "work around" than a fix. The box shouldn't freeze just from hitting a remote button too quickly. |

I use the pause button as soon as the advert break arrives and then the skip buttons, this means every time I skip to a still frame and allows me to get past the adverts in silence rather than being aurally blasted by fragments of loud adverts. |

Still the original software. The more I think about it, the more I suspect that NiceGuy might be onto something when he wrote that the new TalkTalk Player might have freed up resources that the boxes are using now. We were all told to leave our boxes on standby overnight for it to be installed, so it was a download of some description. It's all conjecture, of course, but things are looking up.

My parents box defiantly works much faster, works as well as my trial box easily!

Each skip forward is 1 minute, each skip backward is 15 seconds if you accidentally overshoot.

The skip function was easier than FF for avoiding adverts. |
