    Im currently on my second Horizon box first box died with a "50% R Scanning" issue took 5 days to replace the box :mad:

    Now today first the wifi stopped broadcasting and was unable to enable again in settings, got on to customer care and they were unable to resolve the wifi issue either and now the "50% R Scanning" issue is also back so I am now down to having use of the phone which I never use anyway:mad:

    Its also going to be tuesday until a tech is out to again replace the box:mad:

    I had a r scanning fault resulting in a replacment box.

    Current issues, sounds drop out every now and then but only for a second.

    Guide has gone slow.
    No delete entire series. I've something like 200 Peppa pigs I can't delete.
    Lack of ability to browse and scan other channels with ease like on old box.
    RTE player layout sucks compared to old layout. You can view by day but it doesn't show when it aired etc.
    Poor range on wifi.
    Loading apps take loads of buttons.
    Press menu, select now on, go across select apps, then for some odd reason you have to select apps again.
