pjamieson: I forced my update over a week ago.
I like (in order):
1) You can record 3 programmes at once.
2) The interface is modern and much better structured, I really like the tabs, much more logical. I don't have problems viewing it - I think those people just have bad TV's or not using HDMI.
3) Being able to scroll through 7 days while watching.
4) The favourite channels.
5) The folders of recordings (takes a bit of getting used to).
I don't like:
1) There is no longer number a minutes remaining when watching a recording - Just started and finishing time - so you have to sit there working out how long is left. If you record part way through a programme it's really difficult to work out how long is left.
2) That your choices on the tabs do not stay - eg: I want to be able to always have the guide on Favourites.
3) The lag at certain points (so far I have noted - returning from watching a recording about 2 secs and going to the Box Office tab).
4) People that comment on this Forum that don't have Sky and hate Sky and harass people that have Sky.
Wish List:
1) FTA On Demand incorporated (I know, I know - dreaming).
Overall really good that Sky has done this at no extra cost, even though it will be costing them millions. Although of course they had to really.
I dislike the new interface. Difficult to read, slow interface, changing channel goes from about 1 second to 3 or 4 seconds.
Sluggish interfaces are the kiss of death for me. Regardless of extra features.
