| 1435047 | 2017-05-09 00:19:00 | Given that Igloo hasn't succeeded I was wondering if there's any value in the box and remote I bought? I doubt there's any use in returning the box etc to them and asking for a refund, so is there any way I can get a refund for the box? I feel kinda cheated given that I didn't use it much. I know about the Sky offer they had a recently, but that's not suitable. Any ideas? Thanks for any thoughts. |

| 1435048 | 2017-05-09 01:01:00 | Does it just become a fancy freeview tuner now? Some value in that I guess. If you can identify the particular hardware and google it there may be hacks or custom firmware or something to re purpose it somewhere out in internet land. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1435049 | 2017-05-09 04:00:00 | Just upgrade it with the correct firmware and away you go again. You need to ensure your box is plugged in and turned on during 1st-15th March to receive this update. Not having it turned on more than likely you may have missed the auto update put out, but you can still get it, follow the instructions. www.sky.co.nz |

| 1435050 | 2017-05-09 04:44:00 | "Sky said Igloo set-top boxes would continue to work as FreeviewHD boxes when it turned off the service in March next year, meaning they could still be used to watch free-to-air television after that . But spokeswoman Kirsty Way said Igloo would not offer an electronic programming guide from then, which would mean people would have to manually change channels and they would not be able to check television schedules on-screen . She accepted that would be pretty limiting . " |
