Good find - now, what sort of EPG and interactive platform does the Fortec box offer? Will it offer ethernet, which is part of the Freesat box spec and will launch later this year?

It's interesting that Maplin is suddenly selling this box as 'Freesat friendly' - something I assume they weren't doing prior to Freesat's launch. Perhaps they recognise the need for a strong consumer brand to help the buying public to understand the proposition?
