MikeB4: Getting a lot of jittery video an freezing. I feel VTV is getting worse and not fit for service.

On mine when the video starts to go jittery pressing ffwd multiple times stops it. to me it indicates some time of buffering lag on the device getting things out of sync

When I disconnected by VTV and shoved it in a drawer earlier this year I planned to check back here after a few months to see if things had improved. The feedback over the last couple of pages is pretty disappointing to read.

I have gone back to using my Apple TV and it provides a much better user experience. It won't be a suitable solution for everyone because as far as I'm aware it doesn't provide access to Sky channels, but if you only need 3Now, Neon, YouTube, etc. then it's an option worth considering.

I agree re ATV but oh that remote control it drives crazy

Mines been fine and perfectly acceptable up until it began the jittery video issue in the past few weeks. Im sure its a bug that will get crushed in the next update

@Sansom did the Beta of VTV Gen2 box get the latest updates, as I note that my beta test subscription still has a Lightbox icon under apps rather than a Neon icon?

@ivanpiacun - my box ( non beta ) has been going back and forward between the two icons since the merger, seems like every time i turn it on it has changed :)

Probably a Freeview problem but...

For some reason "Country Calendar" is (wrongly) showing up on Monday 17 August 2 PM in the Freeview website and (wrongly again) on the 17 August 1.30 PM on the VFV box guide. It also shows on its correct time of Sunday evening (previous evening).

If you click catch-up on either the Monday entry or Sunday entry you get Monday's Emmerdale...

Obviously available on TVNZ on-demand app but the quick catch-up way of watching it just doesn't work with this screwed up grid.

I've had a few channels like HGTV and Duke disappear from the guide tonight. There is no sign of them, and I can't enter their channel numbers when watching TV. Hopefully not permanent...

MikeB4: I had to power cycle the VTV four times last night.

Why what was it doing or not doing?

It sounds like you have a dud there, have you tried getting it replaced?
