Hmm been promised for a while1 but Clare found this2 which says there will be an iphone / ipad app only on the way soon. Not a good sign to me that they're developing it with just one platform in mind (and it's not my platform) does not make sense to me. It is surely only sending traffic over the network to the box, so not using anything iphone specific.
Here's more on that HUMAX update3:
Hmm ios app does not sound good - that reinforces the iphone / ipad only idea.
Have not investigated the non freesat related changes fully yet, sounds like I might get more out of using my box as a PVR (though mostly we use the xbmc for this now). Hopefully someone will leak the protocol of how to communicate with the box over the network.
xbmc: XBox Media Centre, some software that would run on an old X-box or other computer hardware to play movies and music ect ect. I used to talk about this a lot...
