If you look around you will see that several makers refer to basic boxes as zappers.

One example

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-DTR5520-Freeview-Terrestrial-Receiver/sim/B003H9N3KK/2

There's also a reference to zapper being a UK slang name for a remote control. So both are presumably correct.

Still a very silly (and confusing) name.

I knew it was used to refer to a remote and I believe ZAP was a IBM360 assembler instruction (Zero and Add Packed)

Somewhat off topic but Sir Clive was reputed to have named his electric vehicle after the Z80 assembly language C5 hex (Push BC )

laptopu - 7 hours ago » Secondly I have AV cabling around the house so I will be able to connect this straight into scart and view the one box on any TV in the house like I do with Sky already, so no change there. What I do have is a magic eye away from the box for one reaso

One thing you may want to check with that is if the menus etc are available over the SCART output if the box is also connected to a TV using the HDMI connection. This is a peculiarity of the Humax Youview box which is apparently still awaiting resolution but in the meantime is causing annoyance to some users.

Cool feature but your link says first boxes Germany next year, I wonder if some extra hardware is required.
