Good Points

Brilliant idea

Bad Points

I think they have tried to bring this to the market before the hardware and software was ready. Just like 3 network, a former thorn in my side.

General Comments

I have only had my box less than a week and it has played up from day one. The slow response of the controls means when you press a button you have to wait to see if it is going to respond or not, when pressing some buttons the unit thinks you have pressed another i.e. press back up and no message alerts comes up on the screen. It is absolutely impossible to either scroll up through the on screen display as it will very quickly select something completely different or to select a channel by keying the number as it again will get it wrong. But by far the major problem is my sky+ box just crashing and not recognising any commands, therefore having to watch the same channel for hours at a time until it eventually realises I pressed tv guide and will eventually select it and crash again leaving me to watch the tv guide. I have now resorted to watching my old sky box in the bedroom which is a dream to use (in comparison) Just waiting for them to come out now and change my box, heres hoping I get a decent one as I am fed up with this.

    Sounds like you need a new remote to me.
