The Cabot middleware was used for Daewoo and Technotrend PVRs as well as Vestel.

Wrong. End of article.
*edit* although.... that does explain why there are so many freeview-HD boxes all of a sudden, all with apparently different UI's. That's gonna make it hard to weed out the crappy vestel boxes.
BTW, the "new look" screengrabs in that article (the ones with the red title bar) are pretty close, if not the same, to what is being used on Vestel's T8300 HD boxes.
