The Humax HD FoxSat appears to ask for permission to retune and the Alba SH and HD boxes just add automatically.

The new s/w upgrade is now OTA for Alba/Bush/Goodmans/Grundig receivers:-

a. HD from 1.3.23 to 1.4.33
b. SD from 1.1.12 to 1.2.16

This adds the ability to tune Non-Freesat channels, defeat the Genre selection etc – go to Menu -> Settings to see the new options.
