The one I brought today upgraded it's software on start-up and allows you to manually tune into FTA channels - so not for the faint-hearted! but possible.

Poor box. Doesn't support DVI input TV's with HDMI adapters. Doesn't allow switching away from Freesat to allow viewing of other "free to air" channels like CNN, France 24 etc. Returned mine as not fit for purpose and opted for the Humax - it worked great after software upgrade 07. Like chalk and cheese, forget the Alba brands until they sort themselves out!
