Now you see it... Now you don't... Netgem's Pleio Freely box is frequently going in and out of stock at Amazon. Still expensive at £99 but the one year free trial of the gaming and extra channels features may make the price a little more palatable. www.cordbusters.co.uk/pleio-freely...

The addition of Talking Pictures for connected devices is quite revealing as the Freely API still displays the broadcast SID number. An extra page will be added to the Freely blog with a full list of channels available on connected devices not using an aerial.

At a UKCG meeting today it was decided to reimpose the restriction on UKCG data being released through public forums. It is inappropriate to release information via platforms which promote fantasy scenarios over, or even alongside, facts. Promoting fantasies only sows confusion.
