Urgent:

If you have sky+ HD do not use anytime.

Apparently, a dodgy software update by Sky has rendered many sky+ HD boxes unusable until the user disables the Anytime service.  Sky's lines are blocked, apparently, but they're said to be working on a fix  :o

DaveR:
Slightly unconnected but the major Freeview providers are going to release an 'internet tv' box called 'YouView' next year. It works just like a Freeview box (but with added functionality) and is connected to your Internet connection instead of an aerial point, so those with poor reception may find it a godsend:

Ian:
Freesat has had this functionality for more than a year, now. We watch iPlayer via freesat's internet link and it's identical to watching SD broadcasts.

Major setback in the launch of Youview  :(
"It just doesn't work when you turn it on and keeps crashing," said a senior TV executive of the set top box equally co-owned by the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel Five, TalkTalk, BT and Arqiva.
Originally due for launch in 2010, then July 2011, it isn't expected now until 2012, probably after the Olympic games.
