I know the latest Freesat boxes have on demand services from iPlayer, ITV Player, 4oD and Demand 5, but beyond YouTube do any of them have the sort of apps seen on many Smart TVs? Netflix, Lovefilm, Blinkbox, Dailymotion etc etc etc. If not now are they likely to get them? An internet browser would be nice as well, OK I'm asking too much

Better to get a general purpose tablet and hook that up to your main TV. That way you will not be limited by what the current boxes may or may not give you.

Hmmm it's replacing a SKY subscription, was hoping to get a single box solution. Could keep the SKY box for TV and go down the 'add-on tablet' or Roku box type route for catchup but that's getting more complicated and still doesn't allow me to record. Unfortunately the TV is only a few years old but not Smart
