Hairy - many thanks for the rationale. Please don't think that the efforts that you and all the others (including sub of course) here put in aren't appreciated: they are, very much so. And the new Reflect Green is a improvement.
I guess I'm just conscious that the PVR (in my household anyway) is not a personal machine that I can just sit and tinker with until it comes right. It's in the living room, runs 24/7, and needs to be completely reliable and easy to use - ie not like a PC!
As a result, the times when I can perform maintenance on it are limited (not least because of all the other machines I find myself managing!) simply because of the nature of the beast, so all changes tend to be done by me at very odd hours.
So while I appreciate the updates, I'm also trying not to lose too much sleep...
