Wireless Access Point setup
Hi, I'm currently a Be broadband customer, which means I'm using their 'BeBox' (Thomson TG585 v7).

Humax Vs Sky+
Well, in MSE mode we bought a Humax Foxsat and cancelled our £10 sub. to Sky. So far the Humax box has been a real pain to use! Nowhere near as easy as the Sky one.
