once more, "improvements" turn out to be an irritation! Have they just got programmers standing by to find stuff to uggerb about with? it was fine, now it's a kin abomination. What sme66ing improvement? aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhh! rant over

[woofgang]

peeved are we?

[Mamyalynne]

Technology eh?

[ToraToraTora]

this is nothing to do with technology it's tinkering for the sake of it and making it worse.

[Bobbisox1]

It's no different Tora?

[ToraToraTora]

then yours ain't been updated yet.

[Peter Pedant]

TTT your language is foo-ing awful

[old one but I thought it cd bear a dusting down on a hot afternoon)

[Bobbisox1]

Yes it's been updated, the formats slightly different but that's all the difference I can see

[KARL]

Up-dated, upgraded, improved, enhanced, safer, etc., all actually almost always meaning "worse", "more expensive", "incompatible so you must start again", "hugely irritating", etc., etc.

My sympathies although I have nothing to do with and know nothing about anything Sky.

when on home you scroll right and the whole left hand side dissapears bobby, same on recordings now and also now you select a recording and it doesn't just play it it offers another menu, aaaarrrrgggghhhh! Karl, yes, I can only assume those that design these things never actually have to use them!

[Bobbisox1]

It's definitely different I agree but I found it negotiable , don't know why they had to change it though

[ToraToraTora]

yes I can get used to it but it's just a pain and makes it worse.

[CrapAtCryptics]

I totally agree - the "improvements" are nothing special and should have stayed in the back of a demented programmers mind.

[ToraToraTora]

TBH CAC, I've been in IT most of my working life and this has all the hallmarks of some eejit manager thinking he/she knows best and the programmer just doing it, probably under protest.
