There seems to be one piece of conflicting information from the document of which I have provided info from in this post and my previous post to the actual USER MANUAL that came with the set-top box-

From the User Manual -

- HDMI Connector
BCM7401 Internal HDMI 1.1 with HDCP
480i/480p/576p/720p/1080i and 1080p 24/30

This maybe the case when its due for release but on the one we have there is no 1080p option?

A photo of the remote and the back of the box -

As for the interactive side (games and whatever else is on offer) of PLAYTV my dad is waiting for a password to enable him to enter that section of the box. As soon as he has I shall hopefully post back with some more info.

Like I said I'm not endorsing or knocking this product only sharing information.
I will not be getting into any debates on customer services, pricing, availabilty etc. etc. but will reply to any other questions if I have the answer, but I don't think I can tell you any more than what has already been posted.

Thanks for reading, makes a change to me not being down the pub on a Saturday afternoon.

whats it like watch tv tho your internet any probs none freeview and how long did it take to set it up from out side the box
