Thank you Time Warner for deciding to upgrade my cable boxe’s firmware at 9:30pm on a Tuesday. It is not like many people watch TV at that time. It took the cable box about 15-20 minutes for the flash and reboot to occur. If this happened on a Sunday night during The Wire I think I would go postal.
I can’t tell what the firmware change did, and cable companies are loath publish these details. I do know it didn’t make Video on Demand any faster. Starting HBO on demand still takes 30 seconds to a minute.
