UK Nova forced to shut down?
at least that's how it looks like this morning
Where to now for UK TV? I use Torrent Day as well but they were never as good as UKNOVA. What other sites etc are you folks using?

It seems you're right. There is still thebox, but it will be interesting to see how long they last.
Nearly all of UKNova content is available elsewhere.

Apparently they got a C&D letter, and in the current climate they decided to shut up shop rather than getting screwed over by the legal system.

I'm planning on getting a UK Bluray player for the iPlayer integration.

One of mine is still playing Netflix and Hulu because I've not updated to the latest firmware. The other one is still in its box because I'm having a hard time finding a particular 60 inch Panasonic plasma I want to plug it in to.

Of course you still need the VPN, but the advantage of this approach is you can watch on smartphone or tablet.

Zulu, check the latest threads on Whirlpool because it looks like the latest Firmware of the WDTV Live determines its location via the IP address and not any kind of hardware geolocation, so things have changed, basically.

Re: UK Nova forced to shut down?
The thing that interests me is it already runs xbmc on top of debian, HW accelerated, can accept CEC remote controls, or app based control, and is likely to have PVR functionality soon. Add in download and serving of iplayer and its getting pretty close to a full solution - with a power consumption of about 2.4W, low enough to be left on.
