I have a different philosophy...FTA manufacturers who also employ coders and engineers, and sell these things purposely for the intent of DN and Bev use (but hiding behind the TRUE FTA usage laws)should NOT be slow in providing any software support, and NOTHING should be "long awaited"!...they can design, create and sell these receivers fast enough, but have "issues" with providing software support!...and their 3rd party talk is just a smokescreen since these companies cannot admit to actually providing the illegal software....very much like a general contractor will employ subcontractors...so myself personally I will never give accolades to any company for doing their jobs and supporting the products they sell.
