Looks like a new firmware has finally been released for this today (on philips website). Wonder if it will make a big difference to the box.

well it works - took 2 usb drives and an argument later but I have got it updated. I can now change channels via the guide - not sure what else it's supposed to do - still no picture in Guide, which would be useful
