The Dreambox 7025 can have both or if you have a big pocket, the Dreambox 8000 does both in HD as well.

How big would my pockets need to be?

I like the idea of combining it all into one, but does that mean its twice the work to get setup and working properly, and twice the corrections to make right, should encryption roll etc?

Also, user friendly wise, how do dreamboxes run, nice layout? quick channel changes? fast menu response etc? what is the epg like compared to virmin ex-sub boxes?
