12-07-2000 Version 2 ONrequest now avalible
ONdigital have released a new software version for ONrequest (known as v.2). When boxes are turned on and switch to any ONdigital or ONrequest channel the usual "Your ONdigital box is being updated. Please wait" message will be displayed. Noticeable updates include the current time on the ONrequest EPG and when viewing ONrequest channels the output SCART (which you video is normally attached to) is switched off. This seems to cure the problem ONrequest have been experiencing with the in built Macrovision protection software in the current set top boxes.
