Well they have said because the new UI is HTML5 and cloud based they can add stuff really quick so that would be great if more apps appeared.

As far as I know BT as well as Humax retail boxes are not starting the new software rollout till mid January. Even then it will take a month or two before everyone has it.
Some that use Talk Talk seem to have the new software update. Darren |

If you don't want the so-called 'improved' features, the delay is great news. Long may it continue.

So you actually want to prolong your agony?
I have always found it is much easier to get it over with and start getting used to it. |

What agony? I don't care much what they do, though if as I suspect I don't like it, it will be a factor when I get to contract renewal time. So indefinite delays is fine by me as I have no issues at all with their current interface, on my UHD box..
Sky has already done the 'graphics/image rich' menu thing, which I still don't like and I have no reason to think the BT one will be any better, so they will lose that particular minor advantage, and choosing which platform to go with in the summer is already a close call (I currently have both). The BT change could tip the balance partly because I already have an issue with them - their SD and HD football channels are of deliberately lower quality than the Sky platform versions. They could choose better quality but have gone down the 'lower quality to allow access by slower FTTC connections' route and that's already a niggle, so now another niggle and well, I said it above. But if sky refuse to continue my current half price offer, well that would be an overriding factor and I would ditch them instead. Isn't competition a wonderful thing?

Either way, it is hardly a big enough sample to form a dispassionate opinion. I don't have it yet. I suspect that my own update is still several weeks away. I look for it every day, though, and am keeping an open mind. |

Rather than faffing about with fancy fluff on its UI it needs to sort out the fundamentals like getting accurate recording working consistently.

Make your mind up mate, do you want it or not because you are throwing out some really confusing signals.
There is no agony as you suggested, it will just be one of several factors to consider at contract renewal time. You're fired. |

Also it looks good the new stuff and I think more apps are coming soon aswell. 7 pm on Sunday 15th November 1998 was the time DTT ( Digital Transmitted Television ) born to allow multi channel TV on a already limited space and on the release on old channels there was hope for more BUT we let down .... ![]() 2018 is limited to when our so called leadership are to stop public broadcasting using a number channels for Europe and also change software put more channels on smaller number channels space, I think. ? We need Freeview & Youview to fight for public TV in the UK as private companies are making MP's sell space for there own needs not the public... |
