I wonder how much future upgrades will make to the success of this box i.e. better or worse. I have just subscribed to BT Youview for 12 months £50 including a Youview + Humax/BT box - I would be a fool not to.
Come spring the entire Youveiw platform is being upgraded to HTML5 and using cloud based servers. It's reckoned by doing this, development of new apps and features can be reduced to days and weeks rather than months and years. However, the success of this will then depend on the reliability of cloud based servers which historically can be a weak point.
Given the Freesat box already uses HTML5 we have already seen issues with their servers in the past. In fact the present issue may have its origins in Freesat servers.
