My box still has ONdigital written on it. When will that change?
It wont. All the software made for the ITV Digital boxes were made by Canal (a third party) and not by the box manufacturers (Nokia, Pace, etc.). If the manufacturers wanted to make new software for the boxes they would have to spend a lot of money to program it, in addition to paying Canal for the right to change their original software. They would also have to get pay and get a timeslot from the BBC to transmit the update. It would take an amazing feat of generosity to do this and hence is very unlikely. A standard reply from the manufacturers in response to this issue looks like this: Nokia manufactured the 9850T receiver for ONdigital, then ITV Digital between 1998 and 2002. The product was built to their specification and design using a proprietary middleware and conditional access system designed purely for their services over the DTT network in the UK. The products were bought by ONdigital and then distributed for rental with a subscription through the high street retailers. The
