Barring any further delays, Freeview Plus is set to launch at the start of September, bringing a wider HbbTV framework integrating free-to-air broadcast TV with the catch-up TV offerings in Australia.
However, with about two weeks until launch, we're still waiting for the influx of devices that are compatible with Freeview Plus.
As we've discussed before, the new Freeview uses the HbbTV 1.5 standard. According to Freeview, you'll need a device -- be it TV, PVR, or set-top box -- that has the Freeview Plus logo on it.
However, there have been reports that any device compatible with HbbTV 1.5 will work with Freeview Plus. Freeview is being rather cagey about that, saying without the certification, there is 'no guarantee of the performance of that equipment to deliver Freeview Plus properly -- or even at all'.
In terms of older smart TVs, CNET spoke to members of the HbbTV consortium who said that HbbTV 1.5 functionality could be delivered via a software update for most recent TVs.

Klaus Merkel, Senior Engineer of Platforms for Broadcast Services at IRT confirmed to CNET that 'technically, there is nothing additional in HbbTV 1.5 that would really need dedicated hardware'.
In the interim, we're compiling a list of locally available TVs and other home entertainment devices that are definitely Freeview Plus certified. Freeview has said that it can't make the information around compatible devices public yet. A Freeview spokesperson said 'manufacturers will release a range of FreeviewPlus receivers to coincide with the launch'. This doesn't seem to be of much use for people looking to be ready for the launch date.
Many manufacturers don't seem to have these lists available yet either so we'll be regularly updating this article as we find more products and as manufacturers return our emails.
