Photos: Hands-on with freesat

The back of the Grundig box is nice and simple. You get HDMI, satellite in and out and a digital audio output for getting the best out of the Dolby Digital 5.1 sound available on HD broadcasts.

The Ethernet socket isn't enabled yet, but that functionality is coming. The purpose of it is to allow return-path interactivity, access to online services and we'd hazard a guess that IPTV is inevitable at some point. The freesat people also hinted that we could one day see iPlayer available on the platform.
