Re: random STB poll!
since the new vm software got sorted the samsung we have has never been slower, v+ to me seems a bit chunky [physically] and not quite as fast as the samsung although i put that down to the delay tv removing recordings/starting a new one every channel change

Re: random STB poll!
With the middleware they run coupled with the currently deteriorating network, none of them is worth a light at the moment.

Re: random STB poll!
I find my Samsung box is better than my Pace box, responds faster and doesn't need rebooting as often

Re: random STB poll!
How can you prefer more than one box? Do you mean "HAVE"?

Re: random STB poll!
