...seems clear-cut to me. Even although it was written by "Head of Strategy". Although given the rubbish GUI you might be right, Freesat management have no idea what they're doing.
I have better things to do, bottle of Cava waiting, so bye.

Having followed this thread I am rather puzzled. I would readily agree that the 1000s has some clunky GUI issues, e.g. far to many clicks for simple tasks etc. but up to 3 seconds to paint each new page in the EPG. This is the HDR 1000s we are talking about isn't it?
The EPG loads almost instantly and scrolls across or down almost as fast as I can press the buttons on the remote. It is every bit as fast as either my old white Sky+ box or my Sky+HD box. It can also switch between tasks as fast as my fingers can hit the buttons.

Its actually 2.5 seconds between button press and EPG info appearing on screen for each page.

With the previous firmwares when I put the box into standby the disk stopped spinning within about ten seconds. I could then hear the click as it spundown. Last night as I put the box into standby I noticed I did not hear the click, so tonight I measured the time. It was one minute and fifty four seconds after I pressed standby that the disk stopped spinning. Has anybody else encountered this?
I raise it as an issue as I like to unplug my box every night. If people are unaware that the disk is still spinning when they remove power it could lead to disk corruption issues.

Faust: pull the other one.Excuse me soupojuice but I am not in the habit of lying so I would prefer it if you didn't suggest otherwise. I do not see the page load lags that you ere experiencing. I can beat the EPG but only just, and using the remote like that would not be normal. Perhaps you have a setup/signal issue? To dismiss other's experience's simply because they are not your own is unfair. I would say in the 4 months I have owned the box I have only experienced this issue on a couple of occasions.

Faust, which model do you have?
| Sun 30 Jun 2013 7:54:29 #78 | -
Yeah, but which one? 500gb, 1TB, or the new-new one with built-in wifi? It is possible that newer models have improved internals, which would be an implicit admission that the earlier models couldn't cut the mustard, but with most users on here complaining about the slow UI (& therefore backing up my own experience) I need more data. It wouldn't change my opinion anyway, tbh.
