It can even take 30 seconds to a minute to go from watching a program (either live TV or recorded) to get into MyShows or the EPG.
It's not overly full either, with currently about 38% space used.
Anyone else noticing this? Or is it standard for an 18-month old (and therefore just out of contract minimum period)?
If it's faulty, I'll give VM a ring. If not, then as it's driving me nuts, I may just cancel altogether.
Oh, and I'm not really bothered about a V6 upgrade, either. I have no interest in 4k, now or in the medium term (until current TV packs up, at least), and there's not much on the feature list that would bother me, even for a free upgrade, and absolutely not if it entailed the old "new contract" trick. Recording 6 programs concurrently might be useful on occassion, but pretty infrequently, and nothing else lights my fire.
Mind you, a new remote would help as the old one is getting reluctant to work.
