It might be the Xplora (or whatever they're calling it), looks fugly.

It's the HD-PVR 2U by Altech UEC.

Personally, I prefer the 2P, as do most of the trade...

QT, I'm intrigued by this new explora thing coming out.

Would you recommend I go for that? My 2P loses sound for no apparent reason and the only way to get the sound back is to pull out and reinsert the power cable.

Well, I have not used it yet... but my gut feel is that you should wait.

Thing is. It is not just a new decoder with new hardware. It will also be running the new software, which I've tried... and it is really good.

Will that not be rolled out to the previous decoders?

It is not possible to load over the air, because it will replace the Open TV middleware... so no, I don't think so.
