Just about to upgrade to a 46" HD tv and was wondering if the new 2007 Eurovox can handle HD signals? Or is there another box that can?

Also are Virgin Media supplying Sky Movies + Sports in HD?

There may be an HD dreambox soon, but hardly worth it for just BBC HD.

I thought Dreamboxes were done - they had stopped making them?

So the new Eurovox is basically the same as the 2006 version? You would have thought they would have put more effort getting it HD compatible and sorted the 'widescreen' issue.....maybe next years.

Is Virgin Media not gonna supply Sky Movies + Sports HD though?

where have you heard this from? I'm about to buy a DreamBox DM600C, so just wondering if HD Version is coming out soon, might wait

the DM8000 looks great with HDTV 1080i included but we may have to wait until Nov 07 (or longer!)...

I have a 40" HDTV and a 2007 model and it does not accept HD signals, S*y Movies HD just shows up black. You'd need an expensive Sky Hd box to decode the income signal I'm afriad. Also it doesn't really provide true widescreen either, so you might want a better box. I prefer the Eurovox for ease of use but it's probably not the best HDTV choice
