Gosport: BU2 Update

dbateman2k5 · 02-09-2005, 20:48

I've received the booklet today, and ch.119 has been showing the upgrade info since Monday.

How long does it average out between this and upgraded software arriving on STB ?

Gosport (in Hampshire) is on the Bromley platform

dbateman2k5 · 03-09-2005, 23:55

Any ideas?

At a guess, Tuesday or Wednesday this week. Keep your STB on standby overnight.

dbateman2k5 · 04-09-2005, 18:31

OK, cheers

My STB is always in standby when not in use, as it's used for my broadband as well

STB: Samsung SMT-2100C

Still waiting for software update to BU2 (v3.2 Bromley)

dbateman2k5 · 11-09-2005, 12:00

Any ideas how much longer it will be til I get the 3.2 upgrade, as I've had the leaflet for 2-3 weeks now, and ch. 119 has been showing the TV Upgrade Info for past 2-3 weeks too

dbateman2k5 · 12-09-2005, 12:53

Is the software being rolled out this week, as I've heard parts of Portsmouth getting the new software

I'm still waiting for the software update. Channel 119 has been all about the update for a few weeks now. I've also had the letter with the info for some time.
So it could be this week. I hope so. It must be coming soon.

You're lucky - I can't see my area getting the leaflet for another year.....

i doubt we will ever get it in brighton

in fact i think its a myth a bit like the holy grail, people who say they have the update are just trying to look good, there isnt such a thing

Just had to reboot my settop here in Warrington, I now have the new software

New software was loaded today (Gosport) when I switched on my box. Couple of niggly things: first when scrolling through Favourites with Page Up/Page Down - it's much slower than before, sometimes taking up to a second to scroll after the button's pressed. Secondly that irritating 'Press Red' (BBC 1 & 2) is back and I can't turn it off like I could with the old software (I realise that disabled the red button extras but I rarely use it anyway). Also it keeps re-appearing at intervals between 5 and 30 minutes.
Still, apart from that it seems quite stable so far.

I have found if you press the back button on the remote once, it gets rid of the 'press red'. Well it does on my blue remote for the Samsung.

But the Press Red prompt will return at the beginning of every programme on the BBC regardless of whether or not there is an eTV content.

It only used to appear when content was available. Don't understand why it changed

dbateman2k5 · 21-09-2005, 20:28

Confirmed here in Forton, Gosport

Did soft-reboot, and it successfully downloaded and upgraded to the new software

Does seem faster, at least on a Samsung box
