failed flame?. no, it doesn't have a Freeview HD tuner. I already knew that before I posted.

So I ask again, what's the point of this device that is already obsolete before its even released?

Seriously, if it had a FreeviewHD tuner, I would have been first in the queue outside M&S

iViewer = Mirror no?

@splurge - Why not do your own research, so you can post it here. From the celloelectronics.com site: "Cello Electronics has launched the UK’s first Personal Video Recorder (PVR) Freeview TV that records..."

You could have found out the answer to your own question, and informed others, in the time you took to post your failed flame. :)

Also, lots of people have optical media. Throwing out all the movies we have just because we can use bandwidth and time to find them again is lame. Why do some people go around saying things like 'does anyone still use that thing I stopped using?'

does it have a FreeviewHD tuner?

can it stream H.264 Matroska files over a network?

if not, its about as much use as a chocolate fireguard

and what is the DVD drive for? is anybody still using optical discs these days?
