Only time will tell.

As I said on the SKY HD box, you can use the donwmlaod service, so fingers crossed.

Ed: have you tried copying a program from or to the freeSatbox?

I guess I should give this a try when I have a moment.
You can copy any SD program from the box onto a USB stick (or any other drive I assume) - you get a .ts file plus a couple of smaller data files, I do this all the time. HD programs appear to be encrypted, and can't be easily copied. There's probably a way to crack this but I haven't bothered trying.

I have also read that you can't get the box to easily read external files. Digital Spy has a few threads on these issues, e.g. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...light=ts+files Do a quick search for .ts files, there's a bit more on there...
