I have just come back from one of my relatives homes setting up their Broadband.
I even took a long cat5 cable so they could try iPlayer on their HDR that they have had since last year (standard install with twin feeds).
Anyway I pressed the Red button on BBC1 and it said to goto page 7001 for information of iPlayer coming to Freesat HD.
I then twigged it must be on old firmware which it was .02
Tried auto update with no luck and did not have a USB stick so no iPlayer.
So why had it never upgraded itself? are other HDR boxes still on a old version?
I assume update now did not work as the primitive update system only permits one product firmware to be online at a time.
Automan.

. New OTA due shortly will correct the faulure of the hdr to continue recording after a power cut and allow you to record a programme you start watching live from the beginning using the timeshift buffer contents
