A couple of months ago, I had my V+ box replaced because it had started working really slowly. I was warned when I first got it that there could be small delays between key presses and the box actually responding, but this was ridiculous. However, my new box seems even worse. I just wanted to check if this was normal before getting them to replace it again.
Basically, it can take anything up to 25 seconds for the box to respond to a key press. I know the signal is getting to the box ok (and the batteries aren't dead), because a light on the box flashes as soon as I press the key - the box just takes a long time to do anything. This is particularly annoying when you are fast forwarding through adverts, you press play, and by the time the box responds, you're nearly at the end of the programme.
Also, the box has to be reset at least once a day because it freezes completely. Lately however, it has taken to rebooting for no reason every few days.
It also sometimes fails to record programmes, or splits a recording into two.
Surely this can't be normal, can it?
