Don't remember saying anything about a Freeview HD box?

The core functionality is all available elsewhere. On the same platform and the competing platforms (Sky now, Freeview soon in the Youview guise) PVR, On-Demand, 2/3 tuners, HD, 3D.

It's the bells and whistles that fall into the nothing comes close category. And in my opinion, the bells and whistles just aren't worth the price.
