I bought this as a replacement for sky and it's abysmal. I have worked in the set top box industry and I am currently a software quality engineer so I have a fair idea of poor quality work when I see it. The menu system is an abject failure and requires the box to be turned on and off to recover some of the functionality. Additionally the software managing any IP streams (BBC I-Player) is very badly written and it forces long delays and restarts to get to where you want.
Given that there has been no software updates pushed to repair these issues or make the STB more efficient I can only surmise that the manufacturers have just enough interest in the colour of your money and nothing else.
This is a brand that will never see another penny of my money. My recommendation to anyone reading this, don't bother.
