What I can't find (yet) is a Freeview box that explicitly states it supports iPlayer. I find a lot of STBs that boast "wifi" without really explaining what the wifi is for. The big market seems to be in Freeview boxes that include a PVR, but it's iPlayer support (and ideally support for other streaming services) that I am looking for. I'm not really interested in recording TV on a hard disk, I just want to stream from library-style services such as iPlayer.
FWIW the same issue pertains when shopping for TVs in the UK, it is surprisingly hard, even when a TV is advertised as "Smart", to figure out which streaming services it supports, either out of the box or through a "store" app download.
