I posted this in the main sky forum, but there seem to be a lot of threads here as well expressing interest... apologies if cross-posting is against the rules; no harm intended.
Sky have notified us that in the early hours of 31/01/2006 the three (Amstrad, Pace, and Thomson) PVR3 boxes should be updated.
For clarification purposes, the version numbers affected are 4F21xx, 9F22xx and 4E21xx.
If you have any box models that were updated previously but you personally have not yet received v.4, worry not. As has been stated elsewhere, sky repeat the signal from time to time so as to catch any missed boxes.

On trying to set it to record Malcolm in the middle, the box rebooted itself and was off for 5 minutes. When I managed to get it back on, it had V4!!
PS. Amstrad V2 with 200gb
Hi Dc
Maybe the reason is that the upgrade is not due until the Early hours of the 31st ...its only the evening of the 30th now , so no surprises you have not got the update
Unless you are Australia you will have wait a while longer
I was just about to come back here and apologise for being premature. Whoops!
Put it down to my Labyrinthitis!
I'll bring the sandwiches.
Hi
Good luck hope you are better soon
Hi
The Party depends if :-
It arrives overnight for Tuesday Morning or is delayed to Wednesday morning
or
It sends your box tits up
I'm sure I will be once my local hospital's ENT surgeon decides to see me.
In the mean time all I've got to look forward to is dizziness and confusion. It's like I'm permanently plastered.
I don't know what I'm gonna do if one or more of my boxes crashes after this download!
Chances are they'll go flying out the window.
Thanks for the words of comfort C'man.
Thanks for the update - if you have a box that has not been updated is there anything you can do - channel you are on for example - to increase the chances of the upgrade being downloaded to your machine?
I was surprised my box didn't get the new EPG (is is V1 Pace) and even more surprised as it is now the end of January that a repeat hadn't picked it up.
Sky have taking 2 weeks to deliver to most of the Sky+ users - around 1 million so they still have another 7 million with normal boxes (probably a few more) who will need the upgrade in the next month.
I assume they are planning on upgrading the normal boxes in much larger numbers over the next 3 weeks.
Same as me. You should get it. It's well gone 7am and nowts happened here yet.
Take off your hats other PVR3 owners its not gonna happen now until the early hours of Weds morning.................
Is It
I had two failed recordings as a result. I power cyled several times and did two planner rebuilds and all now seems to be well. No update over night though.
As the Cooperman just said:
"Take off your hats other PVR3 owners its not gonna happen now until the early hours of Weds morning."
I had trouble with my listings yesterday. Thankfully all my recordings of Gay Priests, The Perfect Penis, Life On Mars and Sea Of Souls (UKDrama) seem to have been successful.
You must have other problems that are not linked to the upgrade!
So what reasons might there be?
As the call cente appears to be swamped dealing with that, then it would be sensible to postpone any major changes.
Thanks for the info
