What do you guys think of this? interesting reading. I hope whatever they come up with can be worked in the custom firmware............

Its more than likely going to require Mheg-IC.. so an update will be required from Humax..
Anyway, unless they already have apps coded up and have been keeping them back, dont expect anything until at least Q4 2014..

I think our best hope is that Humax will make the new services work on the 2000T and that it may be possible to 'borrow' the same structure for the HDR-Fox T2

You never know, they may update the hdr t2 again! We didnt expect them to last time..

So, the difference between Freeview and Freeview is the funny i with a star instead of a dot? Is this designed to confuse people?

It's always had the star... look at the logo at the top of the webif screen, which is embedded in the Humax firmware.

 

[ChrisDaniels]

Its also on your EPG screen.. The freeview logo has not changed for quite a few years..

Not if it requires hardware support.

If you go to the Freeview page you will see that they want us to buy a new TV or box.
