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.

Really good, well designed, intuitive and supported products don’t need a forum. 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.

…and it being Freesat I’m not confident.
£400 is expensive for a satellite box and freesat will struggle at that price point. Surely something similar to the freeview play model is all that is required at the moment, with capability of online 4K apps iPlayer, Netflix, primevideo? The box is affordable, doesn’t it have a 4K setting? 4K on satellite that is free won’t happen just yet.

I agree, but there is no news that I’ve seen on what price Arris/Freesat are aiming at. Do you have some new info?

Where has the price point of £400 emerged from?
Haven’t visited the forum for a while. Yes, ARRIS are the Freesat partner for the new boxes. I can talk (some) about this at last
. They have some of their best people on this, including some of the UK people (ex Pace) I know.hairbear.
