Three small items

Nothing outrageously new on the VuNow news scene, but I thought I'd mention a few small items:

There are two new categories under Live Internet TV->Live Radio: "Telugu One Radio" and "Indian Radio Channels" - a total of 24 new audio services for you to explore.

Verismo has quietly updated the online VuNow user manual to version 4.0 - you can download it under the "support" section of http://www.vunow.com/. The features listed match the current features of the software for the most part - Bitflung may spot some differences I haven't noticed. In one instance - my beloved "Live Internet TV" - it appears to be ahead of the software, showing a new top-level menu listing "Movies", "All Channels", "Television", "News & Sports", "International" and "Partners".

There's a new location for my online "Live Internet TV" channels listing - it's in the process of being updated at the moment since there is a LOAD of new content available. The new location of the listing is here.

Other than that .... did you see the on-screen holiday wishes from Verismo support? I thought that was a nice touch.

VuNow available in the Caribbean

The VuNow platform is now being distributed in the Caribbean via Net2Vu.
With the VuNow, Net2Vu customers will be able to subscribe to "premium live and on-demand content".

Any Net2Vu customers care to share their experiences?

Software update - November 22 (or earlier)

Wow, it's been a while since anything's been happening in VuNow-land! I happened to switch the old HDMI switch over to the VuNow last night, and found that - even though there were plenty of new channels listed in Live Internet TV, I couldn't connect to any of them, nor could I access my bookmarks.

So I powered down completely, booted back up again, and got notified of a software update. Fair enough. I initiated it, and it took a LONG time - 20 minutes or so - got through all six packages, then told me the upgrade failed. The error message said to re-initiate the upgrade, or call 1-888-264-3985. Well, I restarted the upgrade, and got the same error. Called the number and - not surprising for a Sunday night - was asked to leave a message.

But while I was fretting over this situation, the VuNow kicked back into the upgrade process, and the third time seems to have been the charm. I'm back up and running on client version 4.5.0.9.2.3.1 - the server version is no longer listed.

After a quick check of the items I hold near and dear - I find not much has changed other than a restructuring of some of the "settings" menus.

Anyone else notice anything new, or encounter any problems with the upgrade?
