Sky have started to release a new version of the Digibox Software. The software, which is believed to have been released to Digiboxes since Tuesday 26th September, has today been activated on several Digiboxes. Earlier news suggests that only the Digiboxes manufactured by Pace have been activated. The new software changes the System Setup menu to display: Model: 1.2.4c , Operating System: 1.2S3Bu, EPG: 2.7g.2 . So far it would appear to be a software bug fix as the only real change we have witnessed is that pressing the 'Interactive' button now displays a menu allowing you to select Open.... A sign of more Interactive services to come.
After seeing the announcement below on this site, Maze Media have sent details of the first issue plus a special subscription offer to readers of this site...
I have received a press pack from Maze Media announcing the launch of a new UK magazine - "SmartHouse". The "Smart" part seems to refer to houses that look smart as well as ones that are intelligent smart. The picture shows the cover of the mock-up first issue.
