I do enjoy this future where firmware dictates the longevity of the product.... Wonder if this will happen to say a Tesla owner.

If only the Tesla had PUC control, it could then use almost any electric /gearbox combination (approved by Tesla of course) with the aid of a bolt on engine/gearbox arrangement from STB Brackets.

Sch a waste of hardware - streaming from a phone or tablet to a device seems to be a bit more future proof but not as convenient!

Had the same thing when I bought a Sony DVD player only to find out that a year later it was obsolete and I had to buy another one to watch a streaming service I wanted, then something else got taken off that one so I bought an LG that could get Netflix, Lovefilm and iPlayer - then Lovefilm got taken off - have given up and just use Apple TV now. I tried a NowTV box last week as they are so cheap but had problems streaming the iPlayer. I was tempted to upgrade the Apple TV to the newer one for iPlayer, but as they are going to charge for that and I watch so little BBC I decided better to just stick with the one I have and buy any series in the future that I want,

Received that message and so changed humax stb to hdr1100s and now cannot use tv, beovision 7, because it switches itself off after a few seconds. Humax blame the tv so have no reception at present.

HI Chris,

I saw your separate post about your control problems with the HDR110s. Have you resolved them? And if you did, perhaps you could share which PUC set you are using? I may also go this route but don't want to lose control of the box!
