So Gizmodo is reporting that Ice TV is now officially dead and buried. Can anyone confirm that?

I'll be pretty sad if Skippa does become a brick regardless of the EPG getting new legs. I had 2 Topfields. Ive found myself lamenting that what I had recorded and wanted to watch was in the other room cause my kids are claiming TV rights now. The Skippa solved that issue for me by DLNA and I could watch what I'd recorded from any device on my network. I know there are other options that will do that but Skippa showed up right when I was considering options; I've been with Ice TV an awful long time; it offered ad skipping; was attractive based on lifetime EPG access included; and I do love the interface I've discovered since receiving the device.

I hope I'm not going to have to trash it and go back to the 2 Topfields. Despite all the bad things being said it's a good option for me.

Thank you for the update Daniel.

Same here. I didn't connect it with the firmware update though. I assumed it was a server side activity that had been shut off with the issues about Administration for the company.

I was never going to buy a Skippa, (my mac mini set-up has given me 4 tuners for years),..

So how does the Mac Mini setup work? I've thought about those at various times but stuck with my Topfields until Skippa showed up. Are the tuners built in or are they add-ons and if added what's the situation with those please?

I suppose you're getting that news because you didn't receive your Skippa? I received mine but have heard nothing about this except what I've discovered here. I only came here to find out about firmware updates.

I've noticed that ad skip feature has ceased also. Figured it had been switched off as part of the Ice TV problems. My Skippa isn't a brick yet but I can see that coming soon. Pretty disappointed.

So this issue bit me last night and a scheduled recording didn't happen. Hope it's resolved soon!

Also seeing the purple screen whenever I switch the TV to the Skippa input when Skippa is in standby.

Thanks for the feedback. My Topfields were solid performers. Hoping Skippa is too.

Got up this morning and found the clock on my Skippa which was in standby stuck at 04:37. Checked it tonight and found no errors but it stayed at 17:37 when I put it back into standby. Checked and found a software update available do did that then rebooted. Seems ok now. Anyone noticed this behaviour?
