Well, they're not competing on price!

I wonder if they are being released in a more 'finished' state than the Humax box.

Beware! I believe this product to be from the same stables as Grundig/Bush/Goodmans.
Would find it difficult to believe that this product would be first on the market when you have Humax & Panasonic products probably getting close to an OTA.... whenever freeat allow them that is.
Has anyone asked Freesat/BBC about iPlayer on the freesat products? They may be the ones that have the answers.

As for Humax, I think it is only a matter of time before the update is released (or allowed to be released).

I don't think it is.

I could be wrong, it has been known

Good that other products are coming out to add some healthy competition to the market.

No its not like the alba boxes at all

When i said it has iplayer that is what it says in the .pdfs under the model number which are on the sagem website in my first post see for yourself.

If you check the products page, they are not being launched until the end of October. This date may be as "fluid" as Humax's "later this year"

The end of October gives them a window of around a week.

Later this year is nearly three months. And Humax are known for silently missing dates.

Question is are Sagem going to beat Humax with the first working box with iPlayer?

Won't hurt much, have you seen the size of it

I know i can read,

Thought size didn't matter

The i-player has not yet been beta tested

The 250Gb model is £250 & the 500Gb model is £300 from Argos.

But none in stock & no mention of iPlayer.

Found the User manual for the sagem pvr http://www.sagemdigital.co.uk/docume...-HD-Manual.pdf

Is it just me or is the unit really ugly. Given that its the same price range and the Humax, which is a known quantity and looks good you'd need a good reason to go for the Sagem.

It's not just you...

I do not see the iPlayer listed in teh manual. I do see the phrase "Ethernet Port for future use"


Or am I blind?

Alright calm down i was only posting it here if any one wanted to see it i do not need a pvr i already have 3x sky hd receivers.

It was on the sales .pdfs that i gave back in october back on post 1 they have now removed iplayer from the spec .pdfs and changed the links looks like sagem read these forums.

The simple fact is that iPlayer is being soft-launched on the Humax models first, then eventually on the rest...and those Sagems are damn ugly

They disply on the front in red does not look nice at all looks cheap.

cost cutting,2 saline batteries instead of alkaline says it all

Sagem gear is of a terrible quality, f*ck paying those volumes of money for their poor quality products. Don't buy these receivers as they WILL disapoint!
