I wish people wouldn't keep trotting out this misrepresentation here. It
has been dealt with in the past.

It is the responsibility of the *vendor* of closed commerial items to
ensure what you buy works as it should. They may 'subcontract' that to the
makers, who in turn may commission someone else to deal with it.

The BBC try to give info well in advance to makers and those who offer
'smart TV' boxes. Its then their job to handle it. Not the BBC's.
