Guys with the HD pvr software upgarde I am getting more problemes, like boxoffice and demand showing nothing and my recordings dont always record,

Anyone els?
 
None of those problems for me.
HD 2P PVR.

It does however take longer to load Catch Up.

The decoder also once rebooted for no reason but been fine since.
 
Bought a new HD PVR 2 P yesterday. Fast and snappy, no problems.

But last night it updated the software automaticly. Now its slow. And I've noticed some screens dont want to open. And some other minor glitches.

There's definately something wrong with this software. Multichoice, how can you make software availeble thats faulty???
 
On the DSTV forum...they mentioned the bugs and an update hopefully by end June.
 
I am so glad I canned DSTV dont have to deal.with this anymore. Has anyone considered using the CPA to force them to resolve this timeously.

There constantly being major.problematic software problems accurately reflects the level of talent and lack of skill at UEC

What does UEC have to do with anything? Shall we also blame manufacturers of dishes?

I have found a bug: if two episodes of the same series appear one after the other then the episode numbers are often incorrect and this messes up future recordings.

Another issue is the guide search often brings up episodes that viewed several hours earlier that day.

Always try another network scan, often brings up missing box office and entertainment titles.
 
UEC manufactures UEC decoders. DSTV also use Pace decoders. The problem is with the software, not the hardware

No sh*t hey.
So who writes the software? UEC does... I was there once a long time ago... saw the dude sitting there at a desk with an ICD and the debugger open on his PC

UEC do not write the code that causes the grief... its Multichoice (or their subcontractors)

The UEC decoders are used overseas with decent middleware and they're great.
