Discussion topic: Hijack??

Hi,

On my 1st day of service my hub did a software upgrade which happened to ping up in my browser at this webpage/address.

http://192.168.0.1/sky_firmware_update_hijack.html

Is this real (and someone has installed some softwareon my hub or is it just some Sky software engineer having a laugh and using the word "hijack".

Either way not the best word to use!

Cheers

192.168.x.y addresses are not routable across the internet: that page is being generated from the Hub itself. I'd tend to agree that coding a URL like that isn't ideal though.
