BBC iPlayer trial on Freesat now open to those with Humax kit

11 January 2010 15:17 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

Freesat's beta trial of the BBC iPlayer service has been expanded to those with a Humax-made Freesat HD or Freesat+ digital box and broadband speeds of over 1Mbps.

The trial is the first time the iPlayer has been delivered on a subscription-free TV service and expands on the limited beta that went live before Christmas.

Freesat says "initial feedback of the trial has been really positive" but a full roll-out of the service to all customers with connected Freesat HD boxes and HD TVs is not due until the "coming months".

For those with the right kit, Freesat's website has detailed instructions, the access code, and a help video to get you set up.
