Trick for quickly switching to Regional BBC

Don't know if anyone else has spotted this on the SmartBox.

 

Whilst watching BBC 1 HD press OK after a few seconds BBC One from the very top of the channel list appears (your regional version) press OK to switch.

 

This also works from any channel but only one way i.e. not from BBC1 Midlands to BBC 1 HD

 

Also it doesn't do it all the time.

 

If you've just switched channels there seems to be a time delay before it re-appears.

@Anonymous User ... I think you'll find it wasn't a feature but a bug which if not happening anymore is apparenly fixed..  woohoo!

Sorry if it was something you liked.

When you press ok, you can see it flicker .. like a disobedient dog itching to fetch but being told sternly "Staaayy..." Smiley Wink

yes i've seen that flicker.

 

It's a pity as it was useful.

 

Now only if it responded to an old Sky remote and i could enter numeric codes again it would be so much easier than 10 presses of the fast forward button.

It says something about the quality of NowTV's software that a bug actually improved it (If only for a short while).

 

You can make any suggestions you want with this lot the only thing that will make them change anything is £££'s
