New SkyHD EPG?

[Luke]

Does anyone know when the Samsung boxes will be getting the upgrade? I see that most Thomson boxes have had the upgrade now, but I've got the Samsung one, so wondering when it'll "come".

I want ITV HD :[

Theres an EPG upgrade?

EDIT: Second qaurter of 2009 babes xo.

It already is Q2.

And some boxes already have it, I know someone with the Thomson brand box that has it.

It looks quite good to be honest, and you can tune ITV HD onto it, which you can't with the old one .

I phoned them last month about it, and they said at the start of april, but no updates as of yet.

They are doing a rollout slowly now, its supposed to be completed by the end of spring and you'll get an information pack through the post a couple of days before you get the update

Thompson
Amstrad
Samsung

ar man, oh well, i'll just have to be patient

Well my Sky+HD order is due to be complete in 7-12 weeks @) so hopefully my box will be already upgraded or will update as soon as I plug it in.

[Luke]

You'll probs get the Pace box then , which i tihnk, is even after the samsung.
Aren't sky changing the viewing cards as well?

[Nick.]

I think it's weird how they use all kind of different manufacturers for their boxes. Why don't they just stick to (at least at a time). What are the Pace ones like? I know the Thompson ones are apparently quite problematic. Also I've seen a lot of discussion about the MiniTV (PIP) spoiling programs by showing the end of one of your recordings. I don't quite understand what everyone is on about. Why would the MiniTV show the end of a program? :S

[Markeh]

Yeah, they're changing the viewing cards...

Theres adverts about it all over Sky1
