The spec says internet connectivity - NO but it has an ethernet port and next to usb says iplayer
It says ethernet on the currys site.
Confused by the spec - it says internet no See edit.
Doesn't appear on the official Freesat site or joinfreesat.

At that price I am tempted myself.
It's also shown on the makers website if you spin the image round using the arrows.
Not found any yet, probably too new. Could be the same innards as one of the other cheaper Freesat+ pvrs.
Spotted by Barry at My Humax, compare the rear panel with this one.

Looks like it's a Bush 320GB model as sold by Argos with a 500GB hdd. Plenty of reviews for this model.
Pingu
But in this case beauty is only skin deep
Other than the looks pretty certain to be the Bush innards and therefore not widely regarded as being very good.
Still showing at £149 today. (22.01.2013)

I'll second that! Even more so if you add Raydon's custom firmware bundle which greatly improves the functionality of an already great box. Just don't expect the fastest EPG or 4OD & Demand 5.
