My dad just received one of these boxes so I have just been around to set it up for him. I must say I was pretty impressed. Works just like a normal PVR - pause, rewind etc. The best bit I saw was the TV Guide, it goes 7 days back as well as forward and you can watch any program on channel 1,2,3,4 & 5 from the last 7 days.

Anyone else get 1 of these?
 
can pretty much do that with full blown htpc for the same price.
It's not as well integrated as the YV box though (i.e. browsing backwards through the EPG and just playing, all the on demand players in one place).

The platform will also allow streamed paid for content to be played in the future, so it is quite a bit more than an HTPC....
 
But will it play crysis?

Do you still hook it up to the aerial for live TV?
No and yes. It's a Freeview HD+ box with streaming capabilities. Given the 500GB Humax T2 box is £250, a 1TB version with extra software and capabilities for £300 isn't too far off expectations.

BTW, believe it or not, there are some people that don't game ;)

See I didnt know that bit lol. £300 aint to shabby.
I dont watch much TV though, so my PS3 and its freeview addon are enough for me.
