There have been several improvements since then. There has been more than one set top box manufacturer involved with the development. Backwards compatibility is a priority and helping an open market for equipment develop.
While no technical details can be offered here, you can be sure that the issue you have raised concerning BSkyB was at the foremost of our thinking.
That link no longer works, could you post a new picture please?
Also, if there are mods for this STB to allow it to read the Freesat EPG, are there any others for changing the look of the GUI? Changes like colour, font, what information is shown on the info banner when changing channels etc?
Interesting...is that a fast scan or a manual/advanced one?
I'm fairly sure my Technomate TM1500 and Fortec Passion+ don't pick them up unless they're broadcasting. I was definitely missing BBC4 until I scanned in the evening on the Passion+.
The pace uses exhaustive/smtv network scan (if I remember right), It takes about half an hour to 45 minutes the 4400 takes about 15 minutes using blind/auto scan. The 4400 update has removed Eurobird 1 from the sat list.

Get the file from the website, put the file on the stick, plug the stick in, then Menu: Tools: Upgrade by USB
Good luck!

Improved the record timer, The box will now come out of standby and record the program.
The down side is a full scan will not pickup BBC 3/4.
I have not had time to play with the editing of TP vpid/apid setting which should pick up any missing channels.
Hope you are enjoying CBBC/CBeebies in the mean time

Scanned for bbc3/4 last night and found them. After a bit of googling last night it would seem not all blind/auto scans are equal.
Hi,
FS4400 does not handle the freesat's epg and yes you can use a USB memory stick/pen or hard drive.
The box also enters usb file list on start up (bloody annoying thing to do).
If record is pressed while watching a program it is recorded and then the box enters standby?
Timed record brings the box out of standby turns on the scart output records the program and then puts the box back into standby.
Please can we have freesat EPG.
