Sagemcom BT/EE TV Box Pro

No notification of an update on mine this morning, but software version is now 4.3.198. It was 4.3.166 last month.

Looked through all the settings, but couldn’t see anything obvious.

I think the only change I would like is for the hard drive to go to sleep when it is in normal standby, rather than it only going off in deep standby.

There are few different aspects that could be in the build,yes some of them could be visible, some of them could just be preparing for further changes, or it could be other changes which the user of the box could never observe.
From previous updates I've had the impression that the latter is more likely. Not usually but I think there has been a couple of posts on either EE TV or BT TV forums asking what the changes are, which one of the developers has responded to with that the changes won't be viable to a user of the box.

Probably 'uploading' something too i.e. the details of all the devices on your network that it has illegally snooped.

Very probably!
The TV was advertised as having Bluetooth for headphones and even a keyboard - it has, BUT it will only connect to LG branded and supplied items! How funny, yet again misleading marketing information - put another way, total lies! Needless to say, I have not purchased any further LG items.
 
I manually checked and said there was an update. I've not had the box long so maybe it's just put me on another brewer one that must are already on? I did update it as soon as I originally set it up

Mine shows version:
Component 4.3.198 (b15d7c)
Manufacturer software 0.16.246
 
This morning my box is showing signal lost on every channel, when I go to signal quality it says 0%
I have checked on the freebies service status page and it says there's no issues in my area.

Is your TV still getting a signal if you connect the aerial into it?
 
It is ok now, other local people here in Liverpool also reported theirs went off, although when doing status check said there were no issues.
I done a retune and I could only get Wales channels. Later on in the day I done another rretune and iit showed as Liverpool again.
 
I had the below message when I logged into the App yesterday

I already have a login so was a little unsettled when I saw it, but I was still able to set items to record.

It will be interesting to see if anything happens after 28th September.

Hmmm? I hope that does only mean exactly what it says - you will lose access to "all the app features and remote recording" none of which I bother with these days.

On the other hand, it maybe the first stage of locking people out of using the box as a generic Freeview recorder IF they don't have an EE TV account?

If so, the box will get recycled to the bin (just like I had to do with their rubbish advanced telephones) and welcome to Manhattan, probably the S4-R and Freeview and EE/BT can do one!

My LG TV does the YouTube, Netflix and Prime duties anyway, with a Firestick 4K Max in reserve, so it will just mean using 2 remotes instead of one - I can probably put up with that.:)
 
I guess it depends on what they are referring to when they say login… the app or an EE TV account.

We currently are an EE FTTP customer, but do not subscribe to any EE TV packages.

Time will tell ….
