    In that case I must also have a faulty sky box as I also get skipping several steps when using googlebos remote to control sky hd box. Mine is also DRX 890-R according to label under digibox.   Still trying to find best way to connect sony tv, HT AS5 surround sound and googlebox to get best sound and control options.

    Yeah. I am also having the same problem. But not the biggest problem. i have just upgraded to google tv from my wdtv live after checking with Sony online chat that it would work.

     

    Simple question to them. "can i plug in my hard drives and watch my movies?"

    "yes you can"

     

    er, media player coming soon!!!! Is that like selling a bike with "wheels coming soon"

     

    Sony online say the player is up to date but have no idea when it will be released. they suggest going to the app store but some of the players in there are not that good. for example, GTV will not play .mp4 (even though it says it will)

     

    the Online chat service is worse than useless!!!

     

    any suggestions on the best app to play all the different types of movie formats!!!

     

    It would also be handy if it kept them sorted as to how they are already on the hard drive

     

    thanks in advance

    I too am having the same issue with my new NSZ-GS7 and my new Sky+ hd box.  When navigating around the Sky Programme Guide using the NSZ remote controller arrow keys, mine is also skipping one or more channels/programmes.

     

    At the moment, I have to keep the Sky remote controller close to hand, but it would be great to know how to fix this so that I only have to use the NSZ controller.

    Hi all

     

    I think this is fixed with the update which is out today - feedback from staff has been that it resolves it so do share if this works for you too.

     

    thanks

    Hi Catmambo, thanks for the heads up on todays update.

     

    Been trying to perform the update (Settings>About>System updates on the NSZ), but not having any luck and it keeps reporting back that it's up to date, even though I'm on the last build dated 20120628.  Internet connection is fine and I'm able to browse on Chrome without any issues.

     

    I will check again later, but for now I'm very much looking forward to seeing the latest new features and hopefully this fix with Sky programme guide.

     

    thanks again

    Apparently the update is staggered over a few days so hopefully you should be able to update before the end of the weekend. Sorry I can't be more precise.

     

    thanks

    Likewise!  Update came through this morning and can also confirm that it resolves the Sky+hd Programme Guide skipping.

     

    I can now store that Sky remote control away in the cupboard!

     

    Thanks Sony
