This is expecially important if you're considering a DVR as the Freeview 'compliant' ones may not have the same abilities for fast forwarding, i.e. skipping ads.

So called freeview has been available ever since STB inception. Although it relies heavily on the TV stations setting program infomration correctly. So far they have been atrocious. As i was wriing this i flicked on the Guide on mine and ABC and SBS have nothing set. It also relaies on the program starting and finsihing on time which is usually off.
