Anyone got it yet?

I'm downloading it now...

Yep downloaded fine from Caradon Hill.

However there does need to be some indication of progress, or at least a message stating approx how long it is going to take.

Message on screen needs to be corrected as well:

'It is downloading. Plese wait

Plese?

Hey! My Toppy has turned into a Cylon with a yellow eye

To improve the over the air update proccess it would be better if it was done automaticly, ie the toppy puts a messgae on screen saying
"new software found press standby/power off to download"
then on power up after the download an onscreen message with
"do you want to install the new software now? ( and create a back up of the previous software)"

That is planned as a future refinement, I gather.

Nigel appart from the resume play update and the continuing fix on the summer bug has any other long awaited improvements been made in this software. If not, when are these planned?

Check out http://www.toppy.org.uk/ NEWS ITEM all information is there

I also visit this site, its not clear what is included in the latest update

If you look at this:

http://www.toppy.org.uk/forum/viewto...t=3019&start=0

that could help you a bit.

Thanks for the link much appreciated, I feel a little sad that many of the known bugs still exist. These were promised to be fixed in last Septembers update!

We appear to be waiting for yet another future promised update!

They were scheduled, not promised, but yes, I can understand some people are a bit disappointed.

One major reason for the slow progress on other features is that we had those two horrible MHEG bugs, and as a result lots of effort went into sorting out the interactive stuff, which should be much more reliable now, and can also be turned off, should any broadcaster come up with a new and novel way to mess up boxes via MHEG in future.

For the other things, work hasn't stopped - beta testers, for example, saw an early version of the EPG with faster population, and no channel changing. But it seems the emphasis is on stability, rather than quick fixes at the moment.

Anyone had probs installing this update manually? Just get a big 'E - 15' on screen when I do it.

Cheers,
Adam
