I agree with you there.
It would have been could to have the choice doing both. But you can't get every thing |

My Panasonic and Sony tuners are now up to date but my Amstrad DRX400, which I only really use for the radio has not and will not force update, I don't leave this box on, only when I''m using it, any ideas why I can't force an update?

You can't force the DL, sky will send you the update when ready for your box, the download won't be on the forced download stream till sky are confident that the updates are ok... Forcing a DL at this stage will only download the old software as it gives you a way to revert back to the old version if the dl causes problems on your box.. |

All it is is changes to parental controls etc, how you can use subtitles and making the red dot disappear after 30 seconds. None of those features are of much use to most people anyway. They're not too me. If you want to get rid of the red dot manually you can just press 'back up' and it disappears anyway. The update to get excited about will be the one in the Autumn when they completely overhaul the EPG. |

I've got a panasonic box..software has been updated now..
I may be showing my ignorance here, but why when you press the 0 key, does a little speaker icon appear? When you do this and choose a channel number, none of them work. If anyone understands what i'm waffling on about, do tell! Thanks, J. |

As has been posted many times, this is in preparation for when the radio stations have 4 digit numbers in the autumn. So typing 101 would give you BBC1, pressing the 0 for speaker, indicates you want a radio station, then if you type in 101, it will bring BBC Radio 1 on. It will free up about 100 numbers, plus allow for loads more radio stations to appear

I have a Pace (model number 3024) Sky + digibox and have not received the new software upgrade yet. I know Sky will send it out when it is good and ready, but doe's anybody know , maybe from Sky, what the time frame to have all the downloads complete. I would love tp have the ability to block the Adult free previews, to stop the kids catching sly glimpses of them when I go out of the room.

I'm too lazy to cut and paste the whole list but as of yesterday, the pace b1, grundig/thompson boxes haven't had the upgrade yet, sky+ boxes have had a upgrade recently but not the epg upgrade. The other boxes should have updated by now.

the red dot removal is great for videoing TV. I have a Tivo so watch almost nothing live. Perfect for me thankyou - horses for courses as they say.
The radio thing sounds dodgy though. How will I record the radio on Tivo? |

I have a Grundig GDS 3000 which I've recently switched on again after a year or so and tried to use my new Sky Freesat card in it. I rang Sky to activate the card and was told to update the software first by doing a "forced download" (not their words, they told me what to do - I've since learnt from various postings, on this and other sites, that is effectively what it was). The system 'hung' and, fearing a corruption of the memory chips, decided to leave things for 48 hours until someone suggested re-booting the box. Fortunately there was no damage and the s.ware + EPG versions were the same as before i.e Operating sys: 1.2S4F1, EPG version 3.2.11.
I know people have posted that the latest s.ware probably hasn't been beamed down yet but shouldn't the penultimate version have been available? I've also seen it suggested that older 'grotty Grundigs' (mine's 3 years old) won't accept newer versions of the s.ware. Any views or related personal experiences would be very welcome. Thanks |

Public knowledge of update
I just wondered how the update was going to be advertised to Sky users. I'm sure the vast majority of subscribers don;t come to this forum, so how is everyone going to find out about it. I don;t have the update myself yet, but from the sounds of things, i'm not sure you would notice that anythings had chnaged unless you knew what you were looking for

My Panasonic DSB50 powered down and updated last night midway through Corrie - and bloody annoying it was too! I got the new software though - finally.
