Default Re: Dreambox 500S

Without the pvr functionality, the main difference is the larger memory options of the 7000 by adding either a usb memory stick or a CF card. This allows the box to have more than one image such that the box operates on the basic flash image and newer images can be added to the usb stick and tried out without having to build up a new image from scratch.

A hard drive added to the 7000s is a lot more than just a pvr. It allows you to add your music collection to the Dreambox and play it like a jukebox. It also allows timeshift of programmes so that when auntie Aggie phones, you dont need to miss any programme.

Thanks again Jim.

Don't think I'd use any of the extra functionality the 7000s provides really, except for the usb image loading, so I'm not sure I could justify the extra spend.

Your sig says you have your DB connected to your SS2 card. What does this allow you to do?

The link allows my SS2 card to open all channels that my Dreambox opens. In my case that includes a Digitalb card and a sky ftv card, plus any other channels that the Dreambox opens.
