I’ve a horrible feeling that one of the reasons that this whole credit crisis came about is because folks in the City misread the Micah Challenge UK banners that read “Halve Poverty by 2015” thinking that they said “Have Poverty by 2015”.
Great to see that the BTVision box (the V-box™) is getting a software update this month. The update focuses on three main improvements:
Recording
All new recordings you set up will add 5 minutes to the end. This is great news, as the current setup often loses the last couple of minutes from the end of programmes.
Restarts
On a number of occasions we’ve returned to our BTVision box to discover that for some reason it’s rebooted itself and thinks it’s doing a first-time install. The new update will “reduce this from happening”.
User interface tweak
The UI is getting a tweak, making it “a bit more clear”, we’re promised.
All that said, overall as it is I think it’s a really great system. I need to blog about it at the other place … maybe once the update has gone through (sometime between 6 – 20 October).
