The guy responsible for iOS which was his big success, but more recently responsible for a few criticised products: Maps, Siri, some tacky interface elements (faux leather) and has notoriously bad temper...

Thank you Guys :)

Well I guess that I have to live with all the off-topic messages, even after I said that I wanted to keep ON-topic. But thats ok I guess. 

However I yesterday noticed that my V1 showed signs of some kind of issue. While trying to select different sound modes the picture started to 'vibrate'. I could see the black border with the white text showing the name vibrating in different patterns, and some of this in the picture also I think.

A bit strange I think.

I did the update last night and I couldn't find the new HbbTV feature. Is this delivered over the internet? (I don't have an aerial connected).

It comes through aerial. Haven't heard that it works also via internet, but I may be wrong.

Well it is not necessary aerial.  

HBB is short for Hybrid Broadcast Broadband and the broadcast delivery can be through aerial, cable or satellite however your  provider has to support it.

As far as I understand internet is only needed if the HBB-TV service needs a back-channel (for example for voting and such) or content is non-linear for example VOD.

You can see an system overview on page 12 of the HBB-TV spec:

For Hbb-TV you need both (therefore "Hybrid")  ARIAL or CABLE or SAT as well as INTERNET - have a look here:

A friend was yesterday at home with some football, action and fast games. As i am not à big gamer, I ask him to test the tv and check for some bugs....

After 4hours, he just says : Great Tv with very good picture, no lag, and far better that my old Bv8 with it s was difficult to play at dark games ( he hates the BV8).

Tv in game mode with Playstation 3.

Games : fifa2013, sleeping dogs, Cod, Gta,...

Hope it helps some of you.

Cheers.
