The port on my box has now been activated (I've got a Pace).

As yet it does not seem to do anything and the only references to it are in the Setup (where it'll show you it's DHCP IP address or allow you to enter one manually), and in the Anytime section of the guide there is now a Dowload tab, which directs you to register with Sky Anytime on the web.

Well, I've tried to register but it seems that whatever service they are offering is being restricted to Sky TV+Broaband customers - which I'm not (I use BT for Phone/BB).

The one function I'd have thought would have been a no-brainer would be to use the DSL connection when accessing the Account section of the interactive services, but no, still done over the phone....

Oh, the problem with the front panel display has been fixed in this update too.

Does anyone know any more?
