Now and Next functionality

My old Grundig 1500 has recently overheated and died.

Whilst in Tesco last night, I purchased a Phillips 1500.

Seems to be decent enough, but one minor inconvenience is that, unlike with
the Grundig, you are unable to maintain sound and vision of the channel you
are watching, whilst scrolling through now and next info for the other
channels.

Too late now, but just for reference, which other boxes have the Grundig
capability ?.
Could it be something Phillips could perhaps amend with a software update ?

Thanks

Goodmans GDB3.

But the vision is quarter screen.

The Techwood and Echostar boxes also do it, the Techwood in quarter screen
(well its a Goodmans clone) and the Echostar overlays the screen.

The Grundig GDT2000 (aka Thompson and Ferguson boxes) does quarter screen
but changes the the damn channel as you scroll down the list! D'oh!

Panasonic TUCT boxes show the channel you were on with the list
overlayed on top of it; the channel doesn't change as you go up and down
the list.

Philip stated to myself that he (or she, he may have had 'the' operation in
the past few weeks, but i'm not certain that that's the case, to be
honest...) has no plans for updated software for the dtr1500...

I understand your woe, but it is a good box apart from that!

It modulates the signal coming into it or some nonsense, which helps with
interference apparently. I'm an old codger, but i think it's something to do
with RF pulses, or so i read on the philips website.

Happy tv-ing
