New Sky OS 2.0

[pingloss]

Just tried lauching a Netflix programme from my watchlist, it attempted to launch the Netflix app but was met by a black screen instead. Closing all apps from the Settings/System management section and then trying to launch the programme again from the watchlist worked.

Some positive feedback. 

EPG is far more responsive than previous OS, also a big step forward is that so far I have not had to wait for the programmes to load as I scroll down the EPG, this was a big issue with the previous OS EPG.

Recording programs is a massive step forward which works be complete once BBC, ITV and Channel 4 programs can be recorded. 

I've not seen a blank tile either, so that's good. 

A future feature request for the EPG world be have the ability to scroll back in time a few days to be able to select and watch (via catch-up) program episodes you may have missed.  (Our Freeview TV's EPG does this).

Well that's a shame. I saw the ability to pair bluetooth devices to the puck and thought this meant I could pair an audio device such as headphones. Seems it's only for game controllers. Would be a nice thing to have, so you could listen to the TV at nighttime without disturbing other people.

As Stream pucks don't have a volume control it would not work, thats why most TV's have bluetooth and/or headphone options

Is there a detailed list of new features and how to access them that OS 2 contains that we should be aware of as part of testing?
