    @dougmcfarlane41 At least it takes your mind off Freeview I suppose. I might have to rethink my "that doesn't happen in the UK" approach to dealing with Spanish bureaucracy and customer service agents.

    @simonhardwick Not sure Freeview update-over-DVB-T updates happen any more do they? The DTG closed that service a while back (it's now IP or USB update only?)
