…and iPlayer is fine on 1.02.20. YouTube isn’t, I agree, but do the improvements mean that it’ll play .flv’s now?
BTW; I think we’re getting off topic.

BUT I’ve read of some people who’ve had to send their box off to Humax to be re-flashed! …all for a bit better YouTube; only not in their case.
The only cases I can recollect are people who attempted to downgrade from 1.03.06 before it was known that the tuner hardware had changed. If you don’t wish to upgrade that is fine but please don’t try and create a myth that there is a risk involved.

Yes… it does look that way, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to start creating myths.
I’m an oldie who’s worked with computers since I was at uni in the 1960’s (yes we did have computers that long ago). I’m sure that you’ve heard the old adage
Quote:If it isn’t broken don’t try to fix itI can’t tell you how many times over the years I’ve fallen foul of this very wise saying. So, for me 1.02.20 records, plays, skips over the acursed adverts, allows us to stream stuff from iPlayer if we forget to set a recording up and, even, watch some music videos on YouTube if we get sufficiently pissed; so why would we even consider upgrading?
Sorry, again, about the negativness of my posts; if people need things which upgrades provide then go for it; if you don’t my advice is leave it alone.

As I mentioned in #16 this thread is getting off topic.
What I’d really like to understand is why the code which implements entering standby mode could be confused by any of the above suggestions; to recap:
[list]
[*]space issue (#3)[/*]
[*]bad file name (#7)[/*]
[*]Firmware needs upgrading (#9)[/*]
[/list]
To my mind the standby code would only need to close any open files, come out of any menus and then go to sleep until a timer goes off to start a recording or the user wakes it up.
Does anyone know why it would be checking space, bad sectors, file name protocols, …; it makes no sense to me.
Mike.
