yep.

i forced downloaded it and to be honest it's very good but the HD picture quality has gone to pot. very noisy picture wise which needs sorting out with another update.

i think it's the way it's been decoded and sent down the signal which has quased it.

SD is much better, but HD seems to have dropped in quality a bit.

do a forced update Tans.

Turn off SKY at the wall.
Push and hold the backup button on the box
keep button pressed and turn back on sky box
Keep pressed until all lights at front show up.
take finger off button.
message on screen should show update in progress.

wait 10 mins and it should be updated

Samsung

Its on its way to you Samsung owners soon:
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/digitaltv/a175826/samsung-sky-hd-boxes-to-get-epg-update.html

Forced update only works if it is available "on the stream", which is usually a bit after the new EPG download happens. So don't be surprised if it doesn't work!

Only thing I don't like too much about the new EPG is it is hard to read on my bedroom portable. Yes I know, not likely to affect that many people but even so, grrr.

edit:

Oh, OK some are getting it now, some aren't:
