What does the Connect TV N7 software update change?

Here are the changes you will see to your service

The N7 software update will be available on all of our devices from the 31st January 2023. It'll change just a few things on your Connect TV to make things a little easier, so let's take a look at what'll be different. 

You'll have a new Home Screen (FreeviewPlay) which will now have live preview playing in the background.

The live preview will show you the programme that is playing on the selected channel in the background while you navigate through the Home Screen. 

 Please note when switching from one channel to another, you have to select the channel once to change the live preview in the background, then select the channel once more to view it full screen.

You should also see improvements to the navigation bar! The menu titles at the top, display the name of each menu (without the small icons) and the menu you are on is now highlighted to make it easier to work out where you are. As you can see from our screenshots, we are on 'Freeview Play' and it is highlighted to make it more noticeable.

Although things have moved around a little, any updates are as important as changing the tires on your car, so please to do them to keeps things running correctly!
