I think you have 2 Hopes one Bob the other No :snicker:
These boxes are closed source and unless the originators add the additions i think the chances of hacking/changing them are slim!
These are your typical WYSWYG type boxes, if you want to play around more there are more then enough options avaliable it just a case of costs!
I would pretty much guarantee if Openbox?Slybox did create a box with this type of functionality it would be a lot more in price then they currently are?
with better/extra hardware to suit!
I remember reading that the EPG issue is specific to us in the UK and the dreaded sly.....i think other areas/sats can get a pretty standard EPG??
If you use these boxes as a simple/second alternative they won#t serve your wrong......if you want to play a bit more look at all the Enigma2 boxes out there!
But you never know.......
