They are and they have. Freesat has already excluded Humax from the G3 manufacture by awarding the contract to another company - it's called business. If Humax which to continue building a rival product of their own then they are free to do that. However, Freesat would only be required to...

I didn't claim the licence would be exclusive. However, as far as I understand it the EPG and freetime belong to Freesat so this would have to be subject of negotiation. I don't doubt Humax could develop their own EPG though again that would have to be with the agreement of the consortium that...

Given that Freesat hold the licence for the EPG would Humax be in a position to carry on manufacture when they have lost the licence to Arris. I just don't know how this works but I assume that Humax have to have an agreement with Freesat to produce the boxes with the Freesat software.

I'm assuming (rightly or wrongly) that when Arris bring the new Freesat G3 box to market sometime this year that Humax will likely stop producing the current Freesat boxes? https://www.freesat.co.uk/news/freesat-selects-arris-partner-launch-generation-3-set-top-box/

Dear Me! :rolleyes:

It's a salutation of parting - didn't they teach you anything at school?

Not a sentence - doesn't count! :rolleyes:

I'm probably being pedantic, however, I refuse to converse with anyone that starts a sentence with the word "so". I don't know why people have started to use this awful form of grammar but it really should be a criminal offence.

I wrote a letter of complaint to Humax as my 2000T was in standby for 2 days and set to record a number of programmes. When I switched the darn thing on I found no recorded programmes and all recording schedules had been wiped. I had a less than pleased look across my face, the wife more so...

I suspect he's really Dr. Emmett Brown - I have an image in my mind of him running up and down the neighbourhood.

So I believe, though I think in the main (pardon the pun) they are pretty reliable these days. Our property is around 15 years old so what one might call modern wiring. I have to say that for us the Devolo's have never disappointed at all. I can imagine one might have an issue with some of...

Well obviously you know your finances better than I. Our router is at the other end of the house and upstairs, totally away from our TV. However, for a trouble free enjoyable experience I wouldn't consider anything other than a wired connection. I have the Devolo HP in almost every room...

Wired connection would provide a more stable solution for you.

Your reference to a blue screen has me puzzled. If you're talking about the TV screen mine always goes to a black when I shut down the 2000T and so does my 1000s.

My 2000T finished performing the identical OTA update without any issues. The box is performing as expected, no issues.
