DigiTV Roadmap 2008
|
Due to popular demand, we have put together a roadmap showing the development paths that we have planned for DigiTV over the coming months.
Because the future is notoriously unpredictable, we reserve the right to alter and add to this list from time-to-time and it should in no way be thought of as definitive. However, it is
representative the plans we have for development of DigiTV at the current time.
Please don't buy DigiTV on the strength of what is here. There are enough features in DigiTV right now to justify the purchase without waiting for us to do these.
