There are a couple of small things - simple stuff like changing channel: One question that arose immediately was - is it possible to remove unsubscribed channels from the various menus/channel listings. I haven't got the sky channels with my subscription but I still have to scroll past them (slowly) in order to get to the channels to which I am subscribed. A small thing, but immediately annoying.

On each menu you have to scroll channel by channel, so lets say I want to flick 5 or 15 channels up or down from where I am it's quite a slow process. On the old box I could go left or right and it would flick on fairly quickly, or I could go to the guide and page up or down. Either that's not possible on the new box, or I just haven't been told how to do it.

The box (and I know we are trialing it) seems to pause some website requests then all of a sudden everything opens, happens on all devices. The signal from the box to the Television sometimes turns to pink, never happened before. As other posters have pointed out the tv station prowser tends to freeze then jump forward and you can miss some stations, I would like the old left right scroll through the stations added or an option to add it The twonky app is a great addition no more back and forward with usb sticks and the media box is now redundant Remote works the TV another plus, no more searching for remotes. On the Xbox problem it will not connect to the box at all, I have used the proper gateway, subnet mask and tried different ip addresses, I also used the standard DNS server and also a primary and secondary DNS server that I was given from Tech support no joy. Has anyone any ideas the xbox is a 360 with wifi built in. My Broadband speed has not increased? This is from UPCs speedtest Last Result: Download Speed: 46934 kbps (5866.8 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 6255 kbps (781.9 KB/sec transfer rate) Latency: 48 ms 5/10/2013 10:48:47 AM I can live with the little problems for now but not the xbox one, might have to go back to old system Good start by UPC but a few glitches to iron out.

Aside from this, I see a number of you having problems with getting port forwarding to work. On the Dutch forums the most commonly identified 'mistake' is that people try to set up port forwarding to an internal private IP address which is part of the routers DHCP pool. Port forwarding is only allowed to static private internal addresses which are outside the routers DHCP pool. So you might have to reduce your DHCP pool size and allocate your NAS an IP address outside of the pool. Again, not 100% sure if this is the problem you all are encountering, but I thought it was worth sharing. In NL we are on the same network software version (68) like you guys btw, so I don't expect this to behave very different, unless this is a setting UPC dynamically influences per country. Let me know if this was helpfully for you.

Then again, I haven't been using it long, so there might be something there. QUOTE] There is a button that says TV on it near the end of the remote that does that
