about 3 times last week, I found my TCL decoder displaying no picture and it required turn off, turn on.

I wondered about that message the TCL put on their site in the weekend. I'm also in Lower Hutt....

It was ok last night though.

EDIT: not sure if it's the same though...

Has anyone noticed anything different on their decoders since the scheduled upgrades over the past few days?  There are still two more, so I guess it may not have finished upgrading yet.  Would be good if it fixed the ocassional freeze I get when using the EPG.

I don't suppose they would publish a bug-fix / enhancement list...

I'm in Christchurch and have noticed the activity this week. A few times I've just had the telly on during some late night browsing and have seen an update take place. Also, this morning (Wednesday) during the kids' morning shows some message apparently came up twice advising us that some process had finished and clicking "exit" would let us continue. No big drama but would be nice to get an email about upcoming work like this.

In Wellington. Woke up this am to find all channels were scrambled!  Power cycled the decoder and all was well. A bit strange




Staying in Wellington. Check out my AirBnB in the Wellington CBD.  https://www.airbnb.co.nz/h/wellycbd  PM me and mention GZ to get a 15% discount and no AirBnB charges.

I got a message this morning to reboot my decoder.  I did so and I noticed that the software has been upgraded to version 1.5.  Didn't notice anything different, though.
