im thinking of investing some of my hard earned pennies in a dreambox. (oh lord you all cry

)

Im looking at the 7020S at the moment. Does it have a proper rf modulator on it? I need an rf output for my complicated wiring system and I dont want to be mucking around with scarting / cross wiring it onto a video player to get an rf output......

Bloody hell!

Yes m8, RF modulator on the 7020, but not the 7000.

Check the full manual here

Go on Analoguesat, you know it makes sense.

Well havent got reound to ordering one - yet, but will be treating myself to play with now the nights are drawing in a bit.

BGonaSTICK · 29-08-06, 09:21 PM

Less chat, and more ordering required

I think you are just winding us up really.

Does anyone know if the optional DVB-T tuner fits the 7020 or is it just for the 7025?

Jimdefruit · 31-08-06, 07:14 PM

I doubt very much if the terrestrial tuner will fit the 7020 but I am intrigued to know why you would want to fit it.

The 7020 only takes one tuner and making a 7020 just terrestrial would appear a waste.

The terrestrial tuner was intended as an option for the 7025 so that it could be a combined sat/terrestrial receiver.

Ok - thats answered that question quite nicely. If I could have fitted a second tuner for dtt Id have bought it. I'll just buy a cheap dtt box to play with instead

OK one last question. Having read the manual I cant find a definite answer.

Do you get seperate channel lists for each satellite eg 19E / 13E or is it one long list? Ive had both on the sat receivers I own and *really* dislike the latter
