Clever trick.  Split-screen??

I think he meant sequentially.  The T-box doesn't cope too well with those sometimes.  It is definitely something that could be dramatically improved.   If shows are back to back it should just finish one and start the other and ignore the buffer given the end of the previous show will be on the start of the next recording anyway but sometimes it causes a schedule conflict when there really is no conflict... or wouldn't be if the T-box dealt with the situation better.

wekanz: Davos, "With Telstra's asinine policy of not having any accompanying release notes..."  I, too find this policy ridiculous, unless they are aware of problems they hoped to solve with the update, and they now know they have NOT solved, and they are just waiting to see if these problems get picked up by any of us users.  M$ clearly doesn't always get it all right in its updates, but at least it tells the consumer what it intended to do!  I've never heard of anything so silly as to update software and keep the "fixes" secret!!

I have to agree. It almost seems like Telstra believe that there are issues only if they admit to them publicly. I've never heard of another company not posting a list of issues that an update is meant to fix. I've also never come across a company that tell you after the fact that you've been updated.

Shadbolt: By the way, my T-Box hasn't crashed even once since the upgrade. It used to do it several times a week - so that's a big improvement.

Mine hasn't either. But it has only been about 6 days, so I am not getting too excited yet.


The 10-20 seconds it takes to go back to the EPG after a recording has finished is annoying though.

I used to DREAM of six days without a freeze. ;-)
