Anyone tried this yet?

I noticed it come up on the guide the other day - 907 on my Humax - it
seems to be only available on Humax at the moment.

It seems that everything is only available on Humax. I got a Panasonic
G10 with built in Freesat because I thought it would be nice to have it
all neat and built-in, but I'm now regretting it. We get iPlayer, when
it works, and nothing else.

Freesat should come down a lot harder on manufacturers using the Freesat
brand and delivering not much more than a basic FTA box.

This is exactly why I always suggest to people that they buy a
separate front-end box. You can update, replace, or duplicate the
delivery mechanism without changing the TV.

The problem with a lot of these gadgets is, they have to be wife
friendly. She liked the idea of one remote control and no unnecessary
leads. I would have gone for the seperate box, but there you go.

Have you seen the box from LG which is being sold to turn your
TV into a SMART/Internet TV?

That's interesting (and so is the link to 3D via the "hands on" link in the
article.
I've just bought an LG BD660 player that supports I-Player and it's linked
to the TV via a '1.4' HDMI cable that supports Ethernet. When I get a long
enough Cat5 cable to reach, it'll be interesting to see how well the BD
player interfaces with the TV. The player's just had 124MB of updtae -
perhaps LG could include the functionality of Smart TV for the player with
the next update.

So are we going to duplicate the hi fi scenario, no one manufacturer makes
everything well, so you buy one bit from company a another from b etc?
In that case, can I buy a small screen size monitor that can also take
input from a scart as well as a computer?

I have a seperate room for the HiFi and she doesn't get a say in that,
so yes, I have a system mad up of components from different manufacturers.

There's not much point when you can use your computer to do all the
media stuff such as TV and recorder. A computer is still the most
flexible media box of them all.

I've got a Dell 24 inch monitor here that doesn't have SCART but does
have composite S-Video and RGB. Merely a matter of cabling.

It's an old model though. Looks as though the new ones don't have as
good connectivity, though they do have HDCP.
