That's expected at this stage.

The total number people who have been switched to R012 is relatively small and the rollout of R012 is in its early stages.

The switch on Wednesday morning was to switch those who were already on R012.079.47.00P (and may have been accidentally rolled back to R011), onto R012.079.50.00P.

However I can confirm that as of this morning the rollout of R011.075.64.00P is complete.

I understand not everyone gets it from the get go,but having 2 x 2TB boxes and 1 x 1TB boxes and all Installed at various dates I was hoping it would arrive on at least one of them

I am wanting the Sport Tile option on the main to replace the Kids tile


Didn't R12 roll out commence on the 20th August,almost a month ago ?

R012.079.50.00P is now on dr stream for DRX890 & DRX895 boxes

This contains stability fixes to the previous R012.079.47.00P firmware and an issue where the the box may display the message "There are no programs of this type" when entering the OnDemand menus.

It will also be the first time for many to see the new R012 release, more detail at sky.com/skyguide

Just curious, why does it only offer "watch from the start on some movies, not all"
'The shining' is on right now, it doesn't work for it.

Presumably because they do not hold the rights to The Shining (for a free download as part of your subs), it is only available in Sky Store.

Go to SETTINGS > SYSTEM DETAILS if your VERSION NUMBER starts with 4f31 the answer is yes, if it doesn't the answers no.

The Sky Movies "New Features Guide" video says that we can now see Rotten Tomatoes ratings on the EPG. I can't see that at all, any ideas how to view these?

The ratings were supposed to be switched on at Sky's end at a later date.

I have ratings again on some content, but I'm on beta SW so it's probably different.

I have asked for confirmation as to wether ratings should now be live for customers, however I have yet to receive a reply.

On the video from Sky that got downloaded onto my box it shows Rotten Tomatoes ratings. I guess they haven't been turned on at their end yet though

See the post 1 above the one you replied to:

If i do a forced download will i prevent an overnight software update causing failed recordings? As a US sports follower i've been caught out a few times already.

It's worth trying, but I'm not at all sure if having the software version already installed will prevent the update happening anyway, even though it's unnecessary.
I've had advance versions of software on my box, and the update reboot has still happened when that version has been generally rolled out, even though my version did not change.

Probably not, updates aren't usually put on the forced stream until after all (or most) boxes have already been updated via the automatic stream.

However, if you know that it's already on the forced stream, then give it a try - I certainly wouldn't expect it to update again if it's already done.

The latest update for the 890/5 went onto the forced stream back on 21st September, as per post 1079 above (and only 1 of my 2 boxes has it so far, but not got round to updating the second box manually, so others may also still not have it)

R012.079.50.00P is now on dr stream for DRX890 & DRX895 boxes

This contains stability fixes to the previous R012.079.47.00P firmware and an issue where the the box may display the message "There are no programs of this type" when entering the OnDemand menus.

In the next update they need to add the clock picture and the series link green arrow picture in these places on the
EPG TV guide all channels next to the clock picture
And
Sky+ reminder this programme is about to start ( you see this at say 7.59 pm
And
When the sky+ reminder this programme is about to start when you are in the red button on say football first match choice
And
When you press the green button for remind me in the top right hand corner of tv screen
And
When you not connect to the Internet for say on demand

So 5 place the 2 pictures are missing for the white and orange clock picture and the green up down arrow picture for series link

Like we see in the planner scheduled tab down then 5th column of the planner scheduled that you can see

Series link will only appear for channels/programmes that have the correct EPG data to allow it (series id)
