Last nights EPG download for Digifusion and Thompson has seen a spam advert overriding the epg prog info on all channels.

I wonder if any Sony users have seen this too (if there are any of you left!).

We are not best pleased, as it renders the epg pretty useless.

Unless it has changed since I looked at one I think the SVR S500 users will avoid this problem because it does not display descriptions in the EPG anyway. I must admit I never thought I'd see an advantage from Sony crippling the EPG

LOL - I didn't realise Sony did that

As you say one "benefit"!
