Dolts: We have fibre and the picture quality was fairly garbage. It would also pixelate at random moments.

Not my experience. We have cable in wellington, picture quality is great.

Scotty1986: My wife, who knows nothing of tech hates it, like seriously hates it and is always begging to go back to Mysky. The picture is great, and that's the only positive thing I can say. It's so slow, and everything takes so many button presses to do what you want. Do you ever find yourself pushing buttons hard on a remote because for some reason you think it will help? That's how it feels using Vodafone TV. Another thing my wife complains about is that a show on series link also records all the repeats of the show that are played during the night and day. I don't know if its fixed, but at one point it was recording the most recent episode of Shortland street, the rerun late at night, and the old episodes that play during the day. The HDD filled up fast and she would have to delete them one by one.

Also she tells me that she constantly misses the start and end of shows when it records. I now believe she has given up and pretty much just uses on demand TV over the internet.

Re missing the sta and end of shows... The clock on the box drifts the longer you go between restarts, meaning recording gets munted. Silly I know but still there as a problem.

A weekly restart will address this, ours is every night.

VodafoneDylan: The current firmware 3.8.3 checks in with our time servers often to prevent the clock drifting. Previously it only checked when it was rebooted.

Hi Dylan, is there any planned updates to Vodafone TV, my wife has currently given up on it and now only watches the news live, and anything else on demand on the web. Also, by update, I mean a compete overhaul of the UI and series link to only download the last played shows, not all the repeats.
