    new firmware one day will support them?

    Can't imagine it ever happening on the hdr-t2, even if you find them they'll be incompatible
    Just booted up a huawei YouView box and even this says, just like the humax, they're incompatible with that device however; I can get JSTV on a different YV channel again by 'setting it up' i.e. paying for it.
    iirc these were the sort of channels that used to crash the boxes on older firmware. I've almost gone the other way, wanting to get rid of everything except for 101 - 124 and iplayer, it'd cause too much trouble though in the household.

    Humax YouView boxes can now receive some of the Arqiva IP channels - no payment required. They're not the FreeView version though - that requires MHEG-IC, still not implemented on YouView and perhaps never will be.

    Just done a manual re-tune on channel 33 and I have got 71 Motors TV and 73 DAYSTAR. Hope Humax sort out MHEG-IC before my T2 dies though as I like their boxes and they have a good reputation.

    I believe the Humax HDR-2000T / 1800T boxes can receive the Arqiva channels.

    Arqiva give some info on compatibility at http://www.arqiva.com/home/connect-tv-faqs.html
