Because if you have, and you've got a close-by internet point, then you'll be able to enjoy BBC iPlayer in the VERY near future. It's currently under test with some Humax boxes at the moment, but will hopefully be wheeled out very soon....... http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1177080

 

Obviously members who have Virgin Media will already have access to iPlayer and a lot more, but then us mere mortals on FREESAT don't have to pay for this service ;)

Looks like that's almost all Freesat boxes (HD ONLY) are now able to receive iPlayer via a (minimum) 1Mb internet connection, as Bush, Grundig & Goodmans boxes received an update today.

So any of you out there that own one of these boxes haven't yet had the update, just turn off your box and back on again and it should auto-update - But be warned it'll take about 40 minutes (which is two updates) of which you wont be able to use the box (but DON'T turn it off!!!)

Its worth it, the update will speed up the EPG also while it's doing it, and the quality of the iPlayer is very good (not had any buffering problems yet)

 

So best of luck, and I hope this info is of interest to someone at least ;)

Thanks for the info Dave :D will reset tomorrow
