7025 help please

[thered]

right where do i start im awaiting a dreambox 7025 to arrive with twin tuners one for satellite one for cable should arrive in the next day or two
im gonna avoid the satellite side for now and concentrate on the cable currently i have a eurovox which i would like to put upstairs just wondering how i would get the v**gin up and running what software would i need and where would i find it
i know i havent got the box yet but as soon as it arrives id like to know how to set it straight up thanks

also i know i should be in the cable section but im wondering if any of you chaps run the same with a satelite and cable tuner as i dont seem to be getting much joy on the cable area most people use the eurovox for cable and dreamboxes for satellite

any help greatly appreciated

I have never heard of anyone running this set up. If you really want to use the box to it's full potential then you would have been better with two DVB tuners, the way you are going about it you can only watch one satellite channel or one satellite channel. You could record one of the channels to the HDD, but it would be better to have two satellite tuners, because you could have watched on channel whilst recording the other, but it is your choice and you can record a sat or a cable channel and watch the other.

I suppose in the end it is down to personal preference, I have two DVB tuners in mine, but I can't get cable here.

Very best regards Wez

well it might be a bit unorthodox for some but if i can connect it to my cable i can record all uk tv the satellite part when i get it up and running will be mainly just for saturday footy

It is us UTD fan who are the most helpful mate.

I can see the logic in your choice and it would work OK I should think. The problem with the Saturday footy, is that we have had a great season for games for free, but I can't see it being so good next season, because the main providers will be changing their encryption. Since the basket Murdock bought into Premier he has made them go to his encryption NDS, so the chances of getting it for free this year will be remote. Digitv, on 1W, will be going to Nargra 3 soon and till N3 is hacked it will be unavailable. Some of the games do be shown FTA, most would be on Fox Turk 42E and some on the Azerbaijan channel LiderTV, on 13E. Do not, however, be too downhearted, because if there is a hack for N3 then all the Spanish and Portuguese channels will be back and there is sme very good footy coverage on them.

Very best regards Wez
