Just hooked up dish today and am very happy with the upgraded firmware. We can live without Channel 5 for now...
I am a bit disappointed with the lack of a decent EPG on this STB but otherwise there's not much to complain about. The picture for SD channels is much better than what received on our old SKY box and HD is something else... although I too will be trying to figure out how to get ITV HD. I know they are testing but the station is located but there is no picture or sound.
Set up was a piece of cake by the way for anyone interested in purchasing this box. We had a Humax box but that was returned as we didn't get the 80+ channels using our unit although we get a considerable amount more with our Foretec Star Passion. If you look out for it you may find a Package deal which includes a Dish and brackets, LNB, 10 meters of cable, Coax Plugs and Instructions. All for the price of a standard Passion or a tenner more than a Freesat box!!
