    I have been using the SV4 (Box Super USB) for a month or so now. I reckon that the EPG is not great.

    1. Sometimes the EPG fails to update at all, you have to reset the device using the power switch.

    2. Each evening, as it gets near midnight, the programs for some (a lot) channels dissapear in the list (between 11pm and after midnight). wtf ???

    3. It is advertised as having a full 7 day EPG. In light of the above, I would say it is not even capable of a 24hr EGP. If it is capable of a 7 day EPG, how do I look at tomorrows listings? or say the day after tomorrows listings ? (where's the +24hours button?). Dont tell me I have to keep pressing the vol+ button to scroll hour by hout to the right - that takes forever.

    4. It does not allow reminders to watch programs. i.e. If I want to watch a program on chan(n) at 9pm, I have to remember to swirch to that chan at 9pm.

    Am I alone in thinking that the EPG on this box SUCKS!!! ???
