OK, this is new!
Its midnight,
Stargate SG-1 is starting on Sky One, and I get a message from my TV Drive:
"Please wait, you won't be able to use your remote while some settings are updated. (Press OK to clear)"
Then the box cleared off the screen after 10 seconds or so. There was the usual and brief non-response from the remote, and now everything is ok.
THIS is new - this isn't the first time I've been watching telly around midnight and I've never seen this message before.
