  So pretty much what I said then. "Not certified" means limited capability no longer able to keep up. "Was" is true – it was iPlayer-capable in the past. And why would you expect any manufacturer to expend effort and cost revising an obsolete unit? It did what it was supposed to do when sold...

  What is this, exactly? The disable-ota checking the schedule database for the 4.30 OTA check and removing it if found? If so, how about "Anti-OTA" (and the other one "Anti-DSO")?
