i can't see it happening, they will wait until you view is launched. there are some boxes i think that will have or do Have Iplayer.

Humax and 3 view are two that say something about it, if it is available yet i don't know. the problem is these boxes are cheap, you looking at £200 for the 3view box and over £250 for the humax.

the 3view box looks good, but I have read that it have or have had many problems

Digital spy got a forum for 3View, which is here, have a look and ask in there.

Isn't that effectively what YouView are doing?

I am pretty sure it is technically impossible to transmit iPlayer over Freeview per se. Youview will be a Freeview box which must be plugged into the internet to access the on demand content such as iPlayer.

Yes, you need an ethernet port on your box to get iPlayer. I have it on my Humax Freesat box and now we also have ITV player. It's great. YouView looks good and will come to Freeview first.

The latter half of this year, as you know.

And please don't post there are delays, because I don't know of any.

If there are, please post a link as to the source of your info.
