Yes, Please, Don’t

Humax has a problem with its satellite boxes recording the Olympics channels.

Humax has acknowledged that a problem meant owners of its Freesat digital TV box could not use it to record any of the BBC’s temporary Olympic channels.

The 24 live action streams cover every session of every sport across the duration of the Games.

Firstly, quite why we need twenty-four new channels for this dross beats me. However, as I don’t want to watch, let alone record any of it, no problem, eh?

Er, well, actually, it could be. You see, they are going to issue a patch. No, no, no, no patches, please. Just leave it alone because…

“Releasing software too quickly is a risk to the consumers, we could easily accidentally break something else in the process.”

Exactly. And I would be sorely pissed if they broke it just as I was trying to avoid all this over-hyped, over-budget, over-blown over-here junket. That would really be the icing on the pudding…

So, yeah, take your time. After all, BBC1 is inundated with it, so another twenty-four channels is way over the top anyway. Besides, the MSM will be boring us to death with each and every inane run, jump or whatever for decades to come, so it’s not as if people will be missing anything…
