Not sure if the message has been seen here, but my beloved Thomson
DHD4000 will cease to have a working EPG in a couple of weeks time as
InView (the company responsible for broadcasting the old 4TV EPG
overnight) are withdrawing their service.

Charming. How nice of them.

It looks as if my Digifusion FVRT90 and myTechwood PVR160TW are both
affected - neither are showing EPG past the 7th.

I've emailed both companies for more info (the Techwood seems to be a
Vestel
in disguise) - neither have bothered to reply!

Contrast that despicable behaviour with TiVo (soon to return to the UK in
their partnership with Virgin cable), who closed their UK office eight
years ago but still provide a full EPG guide data service for all the UK
series 1 TiVo PVRs to this day. This has included several major upgrades
to the backend guide data servers in the USA, and an upgrade when Sky
changed the radio channels to 4 digits. TiVo could have easily called it a
day at any time but didn't.

My Thompson died when the BBC when 16QAM in the north west. Its just
unusable and stutters like mad.,

Not all were created equal!! My DHD4000 worked fine post DSO. It
seems from other users' experience that a replaced PSU fixed issues
with the change of QAM, as seemingly the post-DSO setup required
slightly more power to process. I can't comment if that's true or
not, but mine has a replaced PSU and continues to work flawlessly.
Well, until 7th July....
