    Can someone confirm that the box still powers up every 30 mins or so when the app is paired to the box.

    Yes the HDD still powers up every 20 minutes.

    Thanks. I'll skip pairing the app for remote recording and I'm not that interested in its other functions to make it attractive for me to use. So hopefully waiting for a user setting of how often it boots up to check for app-set recording data. Given Freesat's response to other requests I'm not holding my breath.

    Why is it called Freesat when it is mainly aimed at Freetime users?

    Because Freesat are promoting it as a Freesat TV guide for all to use to see what's on and get recommendations from Showcase, with the added benefit of remote control functions and setting recordings on the move if you have a freetime box.

    Judging by the pictures of the UI that are showing on the email I just received it seems that the Android App isn't the same as the iOS App.
    There's doesn't seem to be a Saved Items & On Demand section and there's no little TV screen that shows what's currently on or to drag and drop to change channel either.
