    NO!!! Do not force a download!

    By forcing a download you are simply pulling in the old software version off the "force" stream - sky do not put the new software onto the "force" stream until ALL boxes have been SUCCESSFULLY updated - this is so in case something should go drastically wrong, they can just get people to "roll back" to the previous software version by forcing a download.

    When the box is ready to update itself, it will - the box will often download the software into it's cache and then re-boot at a certain time after no input has been received (eg. early morning).

    Be patient! :p

    It's come through on my Panasonic so it's finally reached leprechaunland.

    As chorus techy said, I'd wait. It's not as though it's that exciting anyway.

    Still no sign of it on a Grundig GDS310 here. Had a power cut earlier so after it came back I checked and I'm still on 3.2.11.

    Ditto - except in my case no signal for unknown time 'cos the cable got pulled.
    Grundig Model no. 2.64
    But having heard about the horrible things that could happen on a forced upgrade I guess it's just a wait and see.

    No upgrade for me yet either on my Grundig box.

    I don't think any Grundigs have updated yet...

    I've had it on my panasonic for about a week now. No real WOW features so don't worry if you haven't got it yet.

    No sign of the update on my grundig box or my Sky+ box yet.

    Apart from the fact sky+ is generally the last to be updated, there were reports of a software fault which meant the new software wasn't functioning correctly with the sky+ boxes. Could be some time before you see upgrades...
