BBC iPlayer and Sky Player up and running on Humax Freeview HD box

YouView, the IPTV venture backed by the BBC and other big names, could face a delay of up to six months due to technical hitches.

The BBC has revealed that the iPlayer proved more popular than ever over the Christmas period, with 145 million people logging on to catch up on their television viewing.

Exclusive With a reputation for high-quality set-top boxes and digital TV recorders in the UK, Humax is moving into the connected-TV space in 2011 with the launch of its Humax Portal and a YouView device.

CES 2011 LG has announced the LG Smart Upgrade ST650 – which will bring LG's Smart TV content to any television that has an HDMi input.

YouView has announced that high-profile CTO Anthony Rose is stepping down from his role, although the IPTV platform insisted to TechRadar that it is part of the 'transition to the next phase'.

You View has formally asked for people who want to create channels or offer on demand programming on the forthcoming IPTV platform to make their interest know.

BT has announced that it is finally jumping aboard the 3D bandwagon - with the company signing deals with NBC Universal and Vertigo that will bring 3D content to its BT Vision IPTV service.

Sky is still being urged to join the YouView platform and launch its own Sky Player VOD service on the BBC-backed IPTV project.
