Hopefully some new competition to challenge Sling. If they don't rip people off on the apps by charging £20 a pop then they are on to a winner.
Also would it be possible for Sapphire to allow a HDMI input so I could watch my Sky HD across the interwebs?
Did I just read DVB-T2?
thought the tuners where different?
Well, the signals are all eletrically the same in terms of reception via an antenna - all you have to do is tune the signal to filter out the appropriate carrier frequency (or rather, to filter out everything else ). Assuming this uses a wide-band programmable filter (so the "tuning" is done in software) then there's no reason you couldn't write additional software to tune and decode T2 signals. I assume the issue with most DVB receivers is that they have additional hardware that limits the range of carrier frequencies they can tune, which is why you can't just firmware upgrade a T tuner to a T2 tuner...?
