iPlayer Beta testing to start
Beta testing to start:
http://www.joinfreesat.co.uk/index.p...gin-this-month Looks like the software update might actually happen, once the beta testing is out of the way.. Lets hope its not a 5 year Beta program like google love so much.. |

begin Beta deployment “by end of November” on the Freesat platform.
If deployment of Beta is not till the end of this month it sounds like the real thing won't be with us till 2010!"My God It's Full Of Stars" - Unreleated Quote From 2010, The Movie ![]() Automan. |

720p would be great if you have the internet connection to stream it.Even on a 3.5mb connection bbc iplayer freezes at times on my PS3.

I see the current OTA update for the HDR ends on 10/11/2009 (http://www.dtg.org.uk/industry/download_schedule.php).

If I remember correctly 2010 had that quote, from the end of 2001, laced through it, especially in the beginning.

I see on the BBC News it says how popular iplayer is on Virgin boxes.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8343350.stm I guess they are all connected to the web? How many freesat boxes are? Automan. |

Whilst we have Virgin VOD services I can't see any reason why I would use iPlayer (or the other on Demand services) via a PC or Freesat box - bring out the firmware with iPlayer stuff disabled

Might be being a bit thick here, but once the software is downloaded do we all become beta testers?
Assuming we are, how would one connect the Foxsat to the net as most would have to hardwire it to their router which is often upstairs? And....one last question would the playback quality be any better than on the Wii which I use as an absolute last resort, as the quality is horrendous! All these questions! |

Am I missing something here? Beta testers are supposedly getting the update on USB flash drive any day now yet the OTA update is likely within a couple of weeks. What's the point of the beta test phase with the full release so close? I get the impression the beta testers are either under amazingly strong NDA's or it won't actually happen.

The OTA update will most likely appear on all Freesat units when they launch BETA, but only be accessible to those on the trial by way of a code, which to me seems like a risky way of doing it considering codes soon appear on the web! Unless of course it is a unique code per user that cannot be used on more than one device once initiated.

Id expect all humax pvrs to get update at the one time. The beta testing might be restricted by ip address.
