And they don't have the same restrictions with streaming content in the US as we do here. just look at the terrible state of MRS channels, though I'm beginning to think VM may be to blame for a good part of that. I've been looking into Freeview PVRs recently and the Panasonic ones have been able to stream recorded content to other compatible DLNA devices for the last two years; The latest Humax ones are supposed to do the same.
