Anyone have experience of recent non-Humax boxes?

I know this is a Hummy forum, but the following looked interesting:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-DMR-HWT230EB-Recorder-Freeview-Tuners/dp/B00BYUGN7O/

I see it has the web EPG as standard. Not as slick as the WebIF, but not bad either.

Humax had a large lead in this market. I was wondering how the competition is doing, particularly the big guys like Panasonic and Sony, Samsung, etc.

The big question unanswered by that link is does it support Connect TV services?

The big question for me is what is Connect TV and which Freeview boxes from Humax support it?

A service which adds internet streaming TV channels to the Freeview platform

But in a way that is not supported by Youview boxes and older Freeview boxes such as the Humax Fox T2.

Just discovered my TV can receive the connect.tv services, gomezz. Only via its Freeview HD tuner, though, not via Freesat as far as I can see.

There isn't a lot to watch, though!
