    I think the old software will show the old Showcase and the new the new. Different URL perhaps.

    That's what I think also. But I don't know for sure.

    The thing is, this suggests that those running older software probably aren't getting the bug. Good that Freesat are checking on that.

    That was certainly true at update time. But anyone have any idea what has happened to the old Showcase since. Is it still available ? If so is it fully functional and being updated ?

    It must have been functional two days ago when evilivor was accessing Showcase, if you know for a fact it's a different URL.

    Old software = old showcase.

    New HB 1000S connected up a hour or so ago, had version 2.00.09 on board, old showcase which is not being updated, and was missing some thumbnails. On demand worked although again no thumbnails.

    Software update carried out, now have new showcase with thumbnails and it is up to date.

    That's very interesting!

    Could it just be a handful of faulty boxes, I wonder?

    You've lost me...

    So you are implying there are quite a few users out their now with a connected/plugged in working boxes still running an old software version of some sort. Any of these users ever come on this forum ? How do they accomplish this, how do they stop their box from updating automatically ?

    I already made one suggestion which I personally think is highly unlikely. That was they never turn their box OFF but unplugging instantly after each use might work too !

    No, I'm saying (not implying) that anyone who is running old software probably isn't getting the bug. But it's good that they're checking the software version, as it's better
    to make sure.

    And I'm asking how are they running the old software now, when the box automatically updates ?

    Perhaps no one is. Why do you think that's important?

    I don't, others do though and you said it was "Good that Freesat are checking on that" (Which software version the box is running).

    As far as I'm concerned it's very unimportant as the boxes under normal use update automatically to the newest version and any boxes on here that aren't working correctly have been updated or updated automatically to the new software.
