I'm beginning to wonder if Sky will ever fix the extreme sluggishness of the MySky box since the software upgrades earlier this year? It's still like swimming through treacle. Frequently I make mistakes because I plough on while the software catches up. Sky may crow about its new software, but it's just not very useable. It's like getting a car with the latest in bells and whistles, and finding it takes two minutes to accelerate to 50kph.
I imagine there is a problem with slow processing inside the MySky box. In that case, they shouldn't have tried to do so much with the new software, but I guess they will be reluctant to make it less of a swiss army knife. I have a horrible feeling that the problem cannot be fixed without distributing new hardware.
If there was a halfway decent alternative to MySky HDI, I'd be off like a shot.
