Any improvements to the Apps at all?

(i.e Flickr or YouTube)

[Marky123321]

@ivors5577 Can't say for sure as I don't really use many of the apps - Accessing Youtube through the apps page will give you the same Youtube app as before but if you search for a show and then press "Search for on Youtube", you'll get the new Youtube app. It's faster and comes with a new UI :)

@JPBOLDY This is the pilot update that has been made available to Crawley and Cambridge. It's a public release to certain regions, I've not signed any NDA.

cheers for video mark, has the youtube app changed

[Marky123321]

@SuperDaggster No probs buddy! I'm not sure if it's changed or not as I didn't really use the Youtube app in previous software versions - If you check the thread on Cableforum, I've posted some pics of the Youtube app I'm seeing. If you tell me it's different to yours, then I'll post a vid of it. Like I say in the thread, it's very fast on 15.2 :)

The new mini guide @3:12 is better than Sky because I can only see one channel at a time when I press select on my Sky HD box but you can see 3 channels at once

Any chance of doing another video about the Youtube app?

Currently I have the problem of it not displaying all of my subscriptions. Its not like it even only displays the most recent ones. There are some that post new videos daily that are missing and others that hardly ever post new videos are at the top of the list. I hope this is something they fix with the update.

YouTube??? You couldn't see the favourites before and searching was a nuisance pressing each letter one by one. Please post new bus on YouTube. Thanks.

Thanks for this vid. Eagerly awaiting update. Is Spotify app now available? Do you subscribe to the service? Cheers

I have been with virgin media from the start when is was cabletel and there boxes have never been fast at changing channel or doing anything why can't they just make the technology to make it fast sky can do it so why can't vm like it is fibre optic

Many thanks for taking the time to do the video.

One question- Virgin customer services promised me this update would finally get rid of needing to pad out series link recordings to stop the beginning/end getting chopped. Is the series linking any more accurate now?

Sweet, pressing info in the Guide works now, I hated that you couldn't get that screen up on a program that's airing right now.
