That is unrealistic. Shaw needs to push updates from time...

The time is not Shaw's concern. If I want to watch at 3 pm or 3 am that's up to me. The update should be a choice, not a demand. Fxckggg stupid

That is unrealistic. Shaw needs to push updates from time to time. All digital operating systems work that way. Figure out a time when you regularly aren’t watching TV, set that as your update time. Simple.

Shouldn't you warn people of cable updates before interrupting their programs in the middle of the evening? A few minutes has turned into 10 plus minutes at this point. Why scheduled it for the middle of the evening...why not in the middle of the night?

You can set the updates to occur in the middle of the night. I set mine to 2:00am.

I too have had the "household update. We'll be finished in a few minutes" pop up at 9 PM and again at 9:15 for a total of about 15 minutes of time-out. My device settings are to have daily updates occur at 2 AM but this obviously does not control "household updates". Please reschedule "household updates" for the same time that is set for daily updates, or at least don't schedule them for prime time.

that is where mine is set.  The update occured at 6 pm.  So there goes that theory. 

[LKastrukoff]

doesnt make any difference. Ours set to 2 am and it updated at 6 pm.  Not only that, no info as to what is updated .....maybe have to switch back to Bell Mts  but they are no prize either.

They are still doing this BS years later. This is the dumbest TV setup ever. 

[canukhed]

Users are saying it still updates during the day even though they set it to early morning. 

But it is total BS that a cable TV system updates and interrupts at all. 

[canukhed]

No other TV system has interruptions like Bluecurve does. It's not doing a full operating system install. It's updating show listings which. If it is interrupting because of listings then this is a poorly designed system.

@canukhed -- No other TV system has interruptions like Bluecurve does

That is a bold statement to make, because COMCAST (in the USA) uses the same hardware.  Presumably, their customers would have the same "household updates".

I have never had a COMCAST account, to confirm/refute your statement about "no other".

> It's updating show listings

My Shaw HDPVR updates those listings, at least a few times per day, as "time marches on", and I have not noticed any "please wait" outages while it does so.
