To be fair, most of the complaints in this thread seem to be mainly unfounded "I hate all change and want the old ways to remain forever" posts.
And yes, I acknowledge there's plenty of old people who truly think this is a valid complaint to make.
However, this is a work in progress that most people are moaning about before the first major update is ready, and returning it because of some very bitter negative reviews here.
As the old saying goes "you keep learning until the day you die" applies to the new sky box, just as everything else,
I have to wonder if some of these posters would prefer to go back to VHS rentals from Video Ezy (aka Video Sleazy) ?
For the nattering naysaying nabobs of negativity out there, why not make yourself a cuppa, put on MTV80s and relax for a while ?
After all, Sky is going to do a major update in a few weeks time, and there is plenty of good TV out there rather than what's on Jones or Jones Too.
There's no point stressing out and giving it up because some halfbaked naysayer told you the new sky box will never get better.
Let's face it, being pessimistic for no reason other than to bring other people down is rather sad in itself.
If some people don't want to enjoy what's on Sky TV, then don't tell others that they can't enjoy what's on Sky TV because you don't enjoy it.
This is a retail device being sold to customers it is not a beta device. Selling a device that is "work in progress" without clear notification that this seems to be the case is not good and probably contrary to consumer protection law. Do you buy a TV, Car, Watch etc as work in progress? no you don't. This product is clearly not being sold free of defects as prescribed in the Consumer Guarantees Act and therefore seem be in breach of consumer protection law.
As for your ageist comments and other jibes towards members of this community, these are uncalled for, rude and probably fracturing the FUG.
I think that persistent negativity does nothing but encourage dreaming about perfection. Which is frankly pointless, as is most of this nonsense about non-software based devices.
When you have a valid point, feel free to bring it. For now, I don't care for moaning about nothing relevant to the discussion, of which there has been almost 80 pages of tripe disguised as commentary.
Frankly if some people have nothing better than negative moaning, or offering continual bad advice, then this forum is poorly served and badly in need of people under 50 to participate.
