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?

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...
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...
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.
What is puzzling me is I already have the latest version, probably through Internet auto update. Now I'm getting the OTA update with the exact same version.
One might reasonably assume the box would be clever enough to know this?
Hi Martin,
I have included signal strength in my original post i.e. Quick check showed strength to be 80% quality 100%
Actually across the entire HD channel range it's 77% to 81% strength with quality 100%. This issue has only surfaced today. I did wonder if it could it be a transmitter...
I have noticed the audio drop out/Norman Collier impersonation is now on all my HD channels from the 2000T with the exception of BBC1 & 2. No problem with Freeview HD from the TV tuner.
Also getting weak or no signal message plus picture freeze despite strong signal?
I have started having issues with audio and signal loss on my 2000T at lunchtime today. Started with my Sonos soundbar (uses optical all other devices played fine) no audio from 2000T whatsoever. I shut the machine down and rebooted. This time I got audio on BBC1 but on BBC News 24 HD or SD...
