nice, shame not cable yet lol but i bet it will do soon, no 1080p?

[gadgetfiend]

dont know about 1080p thats just the info as was given but as i understand it there is no notable difference between 1080p or 1080i unless your playing video games maybe wrong though....

@ Gadgetfied has there been a review of this sat box!

Don't know about u but for £259.99 I want to know exactly what is on offer!

How is the user interface and epg?
I have a V-max and to be honest my relationship is one of love and hate. just with the epg! Since this is also meant to be a PVR it is all the more important.

Do I get full desription and info....the V-max has a tendancy to cut of the end info which is annoying when trying to find out if the movie is worth watching etc

Broadcasts are upto 1080i, no need for 1080p I guess.
I'd like to have a go with one of these with sat and terrestrial running.
