    Default Foxtel Issues

    Is it just me or is the Foxtel EPG up the 5hit at the moment (or for the past 6 weeks).

    Whenever I change channels it does not instantly show the program title. It says something like gathering program info and then comes up after about 5 seconds.

    Also happens when you press the TV guide button it does not list all programs, it slowly scrolls through the list slowly populating the fields.

    I used to have this problem once a month or so and a reboot of the box always fixed it for another 30 days or so, but reboots are currently only fixing it for 1-2 days at the moment......Any idea's ?


    UPDATE - Spoken to some colleagues at work who report the same thing ? Whats the go ?

    Anybody got any idea's ?

    Same here

    My guess is that they have done a firmware update and the task that builds the EPG is a lower priority than previously.

    So there won't be an improvement unless there is another upgrade.

    I agree, it is a pain in the bum. Waiting, waiting, waiting.....

    Same issue...
    Recently had fox installed in new house... I thought this issue was because the foxtel guy used diplexers to get the satellite signal using the antenna cable...
    Now it makes more sense...
