You can receive it on an XBOX360 too, but I don't know how this
clarifies the issue of the specification.
Consumers may still want a dumb box with Freeview HD and Freeview On
Demand at minimum cost (with no interest in Sky etc).
Or a HD OnDemand version of the Humax 9200 pvr, which has a USB port for
a transfer of content to computer.
Consumers will also want a DVB-T2 tuner for PC's, which will allow his
PC to record content (clearly the PC will have a browser).
If your hardware meets Sky's minimum specification, which XBOX360, and
Fetch TV's Freeview boxes, do you can receive the Sky service (subject
to payment).

How is this relevant to the Freeview spec, the Informitv story suggests
the specification has grown like toppsy.

"Equally perplexing was the suggestion that devices should have a
minimum of 32GB of local storage, which is nothing in terms of current
hard disks, but could be cost prohibitive for solid state storage."

evil drm aside of course
I was hoping that the legal issues had killed the evil DRM.
Obviously I am not in the know and have limited interest in this topic.
I am interested the availability of low cost, open solutions, including
DVB-T2 tuners for PC's without DRM on the broadcast or downloaded signal.
