Software update

The first update is due on Thursday. Apparently it's going to fix all the problems with my box, although I remain slightly sceptical of that.

You seem to have the install from hell with yours. Don't suppose they have indicated if the issues are anything to do with the headend you are connected to, so could be related to the various networks they have integrated together to form the Virginnetwork. Seems really odd that we all have seemingly the same box, firmware and software and you end up with multiple ones, and cards that essentially don't work.

Let's hope it benefits you and rest of us see changes ( for the better ) too.
Would be nice for them to advice somewhere ( that we can see ) what is to be in the next release too.

They've given no real indication what it might be. The technicians seem to be somewhat limited by what the back office people will let them do.

However, fingers crossed, it has only rebooted once since Saturday evening, despite nothing being done that I know about, or the engineer will admit to. I think that's the longest period of stability for about a fortnight.

I read tea-leaves.

Or when that doesn't work, rely on what the engineer dealing with my fault tells me

When we do get the new version, I suggest we start a new sticky for the bugs to save people trawling through all the stuff that has (hopefully) been fixed.

Call it something like:-

"VM Tivo Bugs & Faults Thread (16.2.Y4-02-4-D01) [NO DISCUSSION]"

(of course, the version number above is just made up for illustration purposes).

Apparently a list of fixed bugs will be posted on the main VM forums when the update is released.

Is that the private forum that only the select few can get to or an open one?

I presume it'll be on the private forum. Provided you have a Tivo you should be able to get access.

If true (and It's not certain) then there will be another update for that before end of the month.

You'll need to request access via http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...um/td-p/327575 . They'll usually ask you to PM your account details so they can confirm you have a VM Tivo.

Mine crashed last night about 10pm - may have been software download related? Although it has randomly rebooted before.

Seeing some "garbled" displays already this am and there isn't a fix for the TiVo noise when fast forwarding and rewinding - I think this only affects HD recordings, with SD it seems fine

Yayyy - 3 tuners, I can switch suggestions back on

Looks like the network transfer history menu has gone?! Not that it had any use but a sign maybe (should one be needed) that nothing to do with networking will happen any time soon?
