New update for 360 and Stream boxes (5.04 & 5.05)

[Dave_DW]

We are pleased to announce that the latest updates (5.04 and 5.05) have been rolled out to your 360 and Stream boxes. Here are the key changes following the update:-

Pluto TV

The Pluto TV app is now available on both 360 and Stream boxes. Pluto TV is a free streaming service which includes content such as CSI, Judge Judy, Hell’s Kitchen and more.

What’s on Now (Stream only)

If you have opted into Personalisation (to opt in/out simply press Home on your remote and then go to Settings> Info> Personalisation), the “Now on Your Most Watched Channels” will be replaced by “What’s on Now” on the Home screen. These will be tailored to recommend similar shows based on past viewing history. If you aren’t opted into Personalisation then the current “Now on Your Most Watched Channels” will continue to show.

5.03

5.05

**This change is not currently available through 360 but will be brought in during a future update**

"Skip intro" and “watch next episode” option now available

For on demand content, you will now have the option to skip the intro at the beginning of each episode and skip to the next episode (if there is one) once the credits roll.

Improvements to Text search

Underneath the Search bar, you will now see your most recent searches, if opted into Personalisation, or most popular searches if not. Once you begin typing, this will update with relevant shows to narrow down the search.

Programme titles only show for in focus programmes

From your Personal Home screen, only the titles of the programme that are in focus will now show.

Update 5.01

The problem with the watch next episode function is it will often prompt you to start watching the next episode before the current one has finished. This is more of an issue with recorded content than on demand because recorded content doesn't always start and finish exactly when it's supposed to, if it starts 30 seconds late then the watch next episode prompt appears 30 seconds before the end of the programme.

And it then auto selects yes if you can't find the remote within fifteen seconds.

Is there a way to turn it off? I see this issue has been raised previously but I don't know if it was ever resolved.

Classic virgin 360 box update… Now all our recordings have vanished again. Can’t wait for our contract to end!

@Mjthemorris on recorded content your either extend time at end of the recordings or turn the feature off

In next update can we have option to skip adverts while watching demand  especially on ITVX .

[colinreid]

does anyone else feel like the box is kinda slow / sluggish? I hardly use it because of this..

[THEGUYVER]

Will this update fix the **bleep** boxes/software they are now giving us/upgrading us too? All to often i will not be able to record programs as its not connecting to the main box so i have to turn off then on again and its getting very boring now.

WONT be renewing my contract at the end of it!
