I have had my Pace PVR 2mths and this is the first update.
Its Failed !!!! reporting the message bad. I called there support who said
It was a compatibility issue and I have to have it updated manually. They
have given me a number and they will send some one out.

I am not impressed.. I would have thought a newish box would have been
compatible... I now have to go through the hassle of being in when some one
calls to take it way and bring it back.

Well done pace !!!!

Adam

Have you tried several times. Some people have to try over and over but it
often works eventually. Last time mine took around 6 attempts. This time
it did it flawlessly first time this morning. May be a signal or
interference issue either via aerial or your mains.

Worked fine here. Had my box since January. It's the 2nd ugrade that
the box has been through, no problems with either update.

The update seems to have included changes for the multiday EPG. But at
present I'm still only getting now and next displayed.

The update does not change the things that will be displayed,
it just displays them in a nicer format. If the multiday EPG
isn't yet being transmitted in your area then you'll just have
to wait a bit longer. At the moment it's only in Wales and
some of London.

It also seems that the EPG updates faster?

Tried several times. It downloads okay
it seems to be the install. I will just have to get it update manually. And
fingers crossed for next time.

My box is a similar age and had similar problems...

Tried the update many many times from AM Saturday morning... it got
so far then "Bad" time and time again.

Eventually a couple of hours ago on Sunday afternoon the update
worked, dread to think how many times we have tried to update over the
weekend.

I suspect we had tried the update more than 20 times before it worked

Keep trying, it may just work. We were not looking forward to an
engineer coming out to do a simple software update.

Nah, it won't, the EPG now/nextness is a function of the transmitted data,
not the box's software. The initial trial was in Wales, the more recent
one is around the London area.

The change that I liked that will affect you though, is the one button
record on the EPG. Lets you tag something fro one-off recording without
having to go through the schedule screen and set the repat to "once" etc.
A small feature, but one that made me thank Bob.

Actually, my major wish, a skip fwd/bwd one day feature, has been added.
Also, a "now" mark on the timeline for the EPG, as well as a "jump to now"
type feature. Makes navigating a lot eaiser, and the box seems less laggy
while crunching all that fresh schedule data.

I know that's probably scant consolation for you outside the trial area,
but at least you'll get it with some of the more heinous bugs worked out...

Looked that way to my untrained eye, and the whole thing is less bogged
down while updating, eg, the interface doesn't go all "laggy".

Mine stopped the first time, right at the end of the download, I just
cancelled, and let the box flag it up on-screen, and when it repeated it
worked ok. I did make sure that I was getting a BBC channel through
with 80+ strength first though.. not sure if that has any bearing (at
least, the uncorrected error rate might be a clue).
