Software Update 5.20
If you've been waiting with bated breath for minor graphical changes to the onscreen programme guide, then this is the update for you. It looks as if anything more will have to wait.

Hi thrice
There 'might' be some graphical changes to the search function on the Stream and 360 boxes with the 5.20 update.
Cordbusters posted the following linked article a few days ago which they've since amended.

( August 20 Update: We’ve been advised by Virgin Media that, contrary to earlier announcements, this upgrade has not been rolled out yet and will instead be coming soon.)
You're ahead of me there, newapollo. The search function is a feature I very rarely use. Oh, for some useful information behind the 'What's New' button.
Hi again thrice
My 360 has updated to version 5.20 today, however the search function hasn't changed. The only change I can see so far is in the Diagnostics screen.
Wi-Fi strength added to Diagnostics
Additional Wi-Fi information in now shown in Settings > System > Diagnostics. It now shows the signal strength (RSSI in dBm), frequency band (2.4 or 5 GHz), and the channel in use.Explanation of Diagnostic Values
RSSI (signal strength) : The stronger the signal (e.g., better than -67 dBm), the more stable the connection. If the value is worse, improving your Wi-Fi connection can help.
Band (frequency band) : 2.4 GHz has a longer range but is slower and more susceptible to interference. 5 GHz is faster and more stable for streaming and TV viewing.(My signal strength is showing as -39 dBm, and I'm on 5GHz channel 60)
The graphical changes to the Search function have now been added in software update 5.21 -
I haven't noticed any other changes in this latest update.
Kudos, newapollo. I would not have noticed this.
