Nooooo.

A CREATION IS upsetting most households across the country and there is almost nothing we can do about it.

The horizon box. Dear God above.

How did it come to be?

Whoops!

It’s like they WANT you to struggle

If there's a single more frustrating man-made object than the UPC Horizon box I don't know of it. Looking for suggestions to dilute my rage.

We just want to watch Gogglebox in peace!

I'm still trying to figure out how to flick channels faster on my UPC horizon box, it takes me like a fucking hour to go through them all :(

There are SOME upsides

Literally the only good thing about the UPC Horizon box is when it says 'get comfortable we're about to start' and I'm all 'ok I will'

But mostly, we miss Aertel

Hey @VirginMediaIE got the wifi sorted, thanks.
Now, tell me, why is the Horizon box remote so slow and unresponsive? Aertel was better..

The user interface is just SO BAD

Whoops!

But at least they have nice animations

Horizon tv box, seriously, what’s that UI all about? Slow, clunky, needless animations in places, tiny fonts, unintuitive. A complete mess.
