Once you have your season passes all set up to record all the programmes
you watch, you'll probably not find yourself watching live tv much at 
all..... you can't even skip adverts when you're watching it live....!

The dial time changes constantly..... it also checks wether you are 
using the phone before it tries..... I can't remember wether it just 
schedules the next call for 24 hours + X minutes after the last 
successful call, or wether it has something to do with the time it takes
the box to process the guide data as well..... Mine made its last call 
at 8:33 yesterday and is schedules for 8:59 today.... it keeps rotating
round the clock.

Within 48 hours it'll pull down 2.5.5 and it will schedule a 2am reboot.
In the phone setup menu (can't remember where it is in 1.5, it moved in
2.5.5!) once it has the latest software it will say "Awaiting
reboot" - 
if it says that you can either wait till 2am next morning or force a 
reboot..... there's a menu option to do it in 2.5.5.... can't remember 
about 1.5.... worst case, wait till its not doing anything (red light is
off) and kill the power for a couple of minutes and it'll do the upgrade
when you switch it back on.
