Good afternoon to you all.
Firstly i apologise for what seems like yet another thread about this new s/ware. However, i have been reading through all other threads, and the Sat forum, and it appears that some are still unsure about the new download that introduced the A2.
I'm sure others will correct me if i'm wrong, however can we agree that the A2 addition has indeed made the heating of the Sky+ box a non issue. I have a new V2 upstairs in the bedroom and the original V1 in the lounge,and both have A2, and apart from the fan coming on slightly more often, i have to say that i'm very pleased indeed. Both of my boxes use to get hot to touch, however since the update they are always now very cool.
Can others confirm, that if their boxes now have the A2 s/ware they are all cool to touch whatever time of the day, or temp of the room, and overall they seem to be performing much better.
Regards James

I can confirm my Sky+ box Model has been changed to 2.057A2 it feels cool to touch. No other functions have changed. The fan seems to run faster and more often since this Model # update.

Don't worry you're not on your own. No A2 here either, you don't expect SKY to roll it out smoothly do you?
Unless you are constantly having problems due to a overheating issue, i'd just be patient. Maybe all models of Sky+ will receive A2 when they roll out the new EPG s/ware for Sky+
Just a thought, but can we try and keep this thread on the subject of whether those that have got the A2 update are noticing an improvement with their boxes. There are plenty of other threads that discuss the matter of....I have/have not, and forced download etc.

My V2 is 00702977** and doesn't have the A2. I don't have any issues with picture quality just loads of other problems.

I am still at sw 1.057 - no A2.
Manufacturer: Pace
Model Number: 2.057
Version: 9F2103
Serial Number: 007041****
Viewing Card Number: 179 09* ***
Operating System Version: 1.3.0BF
EPG Software Version: sky+ 1.26.v2
This is a replacement for a fried box, so I'm actually quite interested in the cooler running (apparent) A2 software and whether I can get sky to push it down to me...
Anyone know a better email address?
I think you are wasting your time with a software load here as this is appears to be lower level of software as the Model # is the only change, may be a bit like BIOS on a PC.
Dan
Right...
so 5-6 crashes/hangs on a new box in approx 48 hours. This is *not* good at all
The person you spoke to is wrong, I and many more sky+ owners have to the model number change from 2.057 to 2.057A2.

When the A2 software was first mooted on this forum I checked my V1 details and found that I had an A2 suffix after the model number.
I have been suffering a number of lockups lately and checked again. Now I have an 8.1.0 model and no mention of A2 anywhere!
So where has A2 gone? Did one of the reboots after the lockups cause different (earlier?) software to be downloaded?
