All that would make sense if the second paragraph started "But now thanks to broadband" and not "But now thanks to free time".”

You really are dense aren't you. In no post have I ever said I'm a fan or not of freetime.
Merely explained how the catch up epg makes it easy to identify vod content and watch it with a single button click.
As I said it's the only advantage of the freetime G2 box, The same catch up services can be accessed in loads of other ways, As far as the HDR-1000s is concerned ignoring the catch up option, it has a superior picture to the previous two satellite HD boxes (Foxsat-HD and Foxsat-HDR). It's broadly comparable to the two Freeview-HD options (HD-FOX T2 and the HDR FOX T2) picture wise, All of them as a pvr offer more than the Youview Humax DTR-T1000/DTR-T1010 (these have the CH4 and CH5 catch up services but very limited pvr capability)
The Foxsat-hdr, the HD FOX T2 and the HDR FOX T2 have the capability to greatly extend the built in capability using sofware add ons written by others. Doubtfull if the two Youview boxes or the HDR-1000s will ever have this,
The HDR-1000s will eventually be able to be used as a DNLA server and client (like the HDR FOX T2 is already capable of) and also can be used as a usb media streamer.
Suspect based on your posts this may leave you somewhat in the dark. Do what the rest of us do look it up and learn.
When I retired in 2000, DNLA would have mean't zilch, DVB-T2 hadn't been invented, If an OAP can keep up what's your excuse ?
