Please make OS4 just as fast to use as OS3.
Makes the software smoother to use and everything is fine.
Just as.
OK, it’s all right with these (slowly) frequent updates, but since this last one my data partition is now almost 90% full. There is no way I can change this. What happens at 100%? And the RAM is now occupied at 92%. I don’t have access there either. What’s up? I guess I’ll have to replace the box then? 🧐 Can anyone comment on this for me, thank you!

These assignments are not relevant to you.
The only thing that matters is how much space you still have for recordings, but that hasn’t changed with the switch from OS3 to OS4. In addition, the recordings are not stored on the box but in the cloud.
And these frequent updates are necessary for security reasons and/or because the old operating system no longer supports new features.
Despite intensive testing, every update always carries the risk that new errors will creep in and new updates are needed to fix them… That’s what modern technology brings with it.

Whoever designed this menu is definitely an amateur who is inspired by other providers. copied.
Like many others here, I really want the menu as it was. I’ve had Swisscom TV for half my life because that’s exactly why it was practical and very user-friendly compared to others who offer it like we do now.
The current Swisscom TV menu is impractical, confusing, slow and just as bad as the competition’s TV menu. Definitely user unfriendly. The dark background has been a no-go and “OUT” for at least 15 years anyway…
Please return our real Swisscom TV 😞

In another similar thread I learned that when using the TV Box 2.0 (with black plexiglass lid), which cannot be updated to the new OS 4.0, OS 3.x can still be used.
Luckily I still had the old box here. I connected it and it said 3.1. I then did the reset and rebooted.
After 10 minutes I had 3.2 back on it and I’ve been happy again since then because everything is white again and the stupid suggestion image that covers everything is no longer there.
OS 3.2 is not as fast as it was with the newer TV box (white box). But at least it’s faster than the OS 4.0 amateur menu with a useless suggestion background.
@Fonzi1971 I don’t think OS4.0 is a success either. However, opinions differ widely. There will probably be a red background in the next OS5.0 release until we get through the entire color palette..?? It is a sign of the times that everything and everything has to be changed again and again, probably just to keep humanity busy. Presumably the TV won’t be any better with OS4.0?
In my opinion, it’s not about constantly having to bring something new or keep people busy.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s green, black or red…
My personal opinion is that we currently live in a world of deceit, there is a global recession taking place that takes us back to the Stone Age.
Above all, this includes the way digitalization is envisioned today.
If I think of Win2000, for example, today every task on the Internet needs 100 more clicks, advertising on TV has increased from 200 seconds to sometimes over 600 seconds, and everything is plastered with countless pop-ups and other forms of annoying advertising. This results in more hardware wear and tear and more energy consumption.
If you then ask why the new TV menu is black, it is because of the environmentally friendly energy savings. A paradox. A bit like the criticism against diesel vehicles, even though a single container freight ship crossing the Atlantic in 2020 will consume as much diesel as 50,000 vehicles in a year.
Today’s generations call programs apps, only know touchscreens and their vocabulary adjectives are limited to “Mega”, “Bro.” and “full man.” Today we simply don’t have the intellect to multitask.
People believe in the fairy tale of renewable energy that proteins from chickpeas are healthier for humans than those from meat and what Greta says will save the world anyway. Now imagine someone like that becoming a programmer and getting a job at Swisscom. There the salad is served!
Entire cities and landscapes are being rebuilt and there are eternal construction sites everywhere so that this form of “progress” can be adapted for future generations.
No wonder that the TV menu will be as it is now, it reflects a little more this new “wave of ignorance” in which we are forced to live. Sad but unfortunately true, recession is seen as progress!
To combat it, as a consumer I currently see no other option than to protest against it and criticize it.

I won’t say anything about it now. I belong to the “today’s generation”.
in that sense: full man, mega crass bro

everything is plastered with countless pop-ups and other forms of annoying advertising.
If you are referring to the media, you may ask whether you would be willing to pay for the writer’s work instead of advertising in the form of pop-ups. Everyone deserves a wage for their work.
This brings with it more hardware wear and more energy consumption.
To what extent does an image, whether a film or an advertisement, on a screen produce different energy consumption? If so, the duration of the displayed image and the screen itself (LED or OLED) have an influence, but probably not whether advertising or a film is running.
…although a single container freight ship will consume as much diesel to cross the Atlantic in 2020 as 50,000 vehicles in a year.
The pure consumption of fuel is irrelevant; what matters is how much freight is transported with one liter of fuel.
It should also be noted that a container freighter does not run on diesel but on heavy fuel oil (HFO) and the sulfur content in the fuel is the problem and only secondarily the consumption.
Today’s generations call programs apps, only know touchscreens and their vocabulary adjectives are limited to “Mega”, “Bro.” and “full man.” Today we simply don’t have the intellect to multitask.
Everything was “super, super cool” with us, what’s the problem, are you afraid you won’t understand the young people anymore? Time and language change, they go hand in hand. Nobody on the street has been chattering in ancient Greek for a while now, or saying “oh, look at the beautiful light moon (full moon)”.
I won’t even go into the intellect now, as two hot world wars and a cold war show how great the mind was.
People believe in the fairy tale of renewable energy…
Fairy tale? Welcome to progress!
Production 1990 (excluding hydropower) 439.2 GWh, 2019 (excluding hydropower) 4186.0 GWh
You too are already over 70% renewable today and no one has asked you for permission to do so, which is perhaps better.
what Greta says will save the world anyway.
It’s probably not, but it shows my generation and the generation before that, to use your words, we weren’t exactly up to speed intellectually.
Now imagine someone like that becomes a programmer and gets a job at Swisscom.
Yes, that’s exactly the type I want.
This is exactly how someone launches a rocket into space and lands it back on Earth, where it can be used again.
To combat it, as a consumer I currently see no other option than to protest against it and criticize it.
Criticizing is good, protesting is good, fighting progress is usually not a good thing.

A film that is extended by advertising does increase energy consumption, at least when viewed live.
Much of what is brought onto the market under the guise of progress does not serve to promote progress but rather to increase consumption. In this respect, it can make sense to fight against senseless progress or at least not to support it.
