Combine it with http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=186127

Hisense 1080p HD TV Media Player - plays just about every format I use.

Now that would interest me.

It's really, really irratating that none of the iPlayer stuff understands
the Windows Media keys.  Even Spotify manages that.

Yes - from what I've seen, they have hacked the Bigscreen version in
order to make it work with cursor keys.

I've sent in a query and will report back.
The CTO of the parent (ipvision) is ex-Netgem and they have other Netgem links.

Re: [backstage] iPlayer on Freesat in November.

[Scot McSweeney-Roberts]

I've got one (though I've not signed up to to the VOD service). You can get
them for around 30 quid on ebay.

The best thing about it is that you can pull recordings off of it over the
network (no DRM needed to "enable" this sort of functionality either ;-)
It's also useful as UPNP network media player.

I doubt it will work with Freeview HD, simply because it doesn't have a
DVB-T2 chip. I would guess a future upgraded model will.

Re: [backstage] iPlayer on Freesat in November.

[Paul Webster]

Interesting.
It is clearly an updated version of the Netgem Iplayer device

http://www.fetchtv.dslshop.co.uk/details.aspx?idProduct=1393
looks like they have their own subscription service for additional downloads.
and includes statement saying that it can get stuff from BBC iPlayer
"catch up on shows you have missed watching BBC iPlayer"

Also claims:
"Multi-stream - up to 2 SD or HD simultaneous decoded streams"

No obvious statement that it can play the upcoming Freeview HD content but I 
presume that this is the plan.

RE: [backstage] iPlayer on Freesat in November.

[Andrew Bowden]

There are none currently in the market however the Freeview HD
specification includes an ethernet port.  Obviously there are none
currently in the market yet, however there will be some soon - expect a
big rush to market for the World Cup next year.

Re: [backstage] iPlayer on Freesat in November.

[Paul Webster]

Netgem launched their device in 2002 and stopped selling it in UK around 2006
http://www.radioandtelly.co.uk/iplayer.html#availability
However, they kept going in France (their home) and used their experience with 
Freeview to be ready for the French
equivalent that launched later (TNT).
http://www.netgem.com/

I have one - with Ethernet and IR keyboard.
I fiddled with it at the start ... including transparent HTML overlay so could 
see "new mail" icon in bottom right of
screen which I could then check (e.g. during adverts).

Re: [backstage] iPlayer on Freesat in November.

[Paul Webster]

The original BBC blog about this is
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2009/11/bbc_iplayer_standard_products.html

As for Freeview - is the standard (MHEG-IC) too new to have been included in 
existing Freeview boxes? Plus - it will be
using Internet connection to access the on demand content and most Freeview 
boxes don't have Internet access.
I imagine that Freeview HD devices will support the technology and I guess that 
BBC will provide the same facility for
that delivery route.
