Only if they acquired the Pace personnel and expertise that went into designing and making those boxes. After all these years I fear their current technical personnel may well be out of the loop.

Hmm! that's odd. It appears my last post has been deleted. Looks like someone maybe having a sulk regarding news of the new UHD box.

Very strange then Barry. I posted earlier in the afternoon and I can't see the post anywhere now?

Does anyone know who Arris is/are? What are their credentials in producing this type of hardware/software i.e. better than or worse than Humax.
Personally I will be sorry to lose the Humax brand. The other issue of course is there's still precious little UHD material so it could be a product ahead of its time.There's masses of info on Arris available online. They certainly look to have an impressive product line-up covering a broad range of technologies.
Sorry to lose Humax? They haven't turned out a completely successful, universally praised (by users) product in the past 6 years. Not a one. What's to miss? I'm not at all surprised that Freesat have jumped ship. Product ahead of its time? Can only be an improvement on the mediocre, buggy, poorly featured products that Humax have been famous for recently.| Sun 16 Sep 2018 12:31:36 #45 | -
From their website they do have fingers in a lot of related industries and will no doubt customise their standard offerings for freesat to some extent.
Hopefully freesat will take advice this time.
I do hope that any offering has adequate ram and enables protected viewing on the LAN.

I wonder if they will have a UK 'forum' for their customers? What with Barry's shock news and Freesat looking elsewhere we may well need a new home in a years time.

Question is, will we get that. If we do then Humax will be a speck in history.

I don't wish to rain on your parade but this is Freesat we're talking about. Have you forgotten so quickly how they launched their own forum and abandoned it when they started to receive negative but justified criticism?
No, I'm pretty sure we will need a forum.

I had a good look over their site. They do have support pages (manuals, Q&A lists for their branded products) but nothing I could find for TP products.
They appear to me as a solution integrator and as such I would expect support to fall on the brand i.e. freesat.
I would not expect them to fall over backwards to give freesat any flexibility in their solution just simply deliver on their contract terms.
