Well I knew that that would be a factor in me buying, but the dreambox probably would have had much less sales if it couldnt scan for all channels properly. That is why my main priority is heat dissipitation. I wouldnt mind some better heatsinks for my dbox 2 tuner if anyone knows of one. I just bought mine for £1 from eBay because I couldnt find any thing else

Oh right. Thanks. I have never known EV to do linux boxes
EDIT: Would these EV's update like how a dbox updates or how a eurovox updates?

not made by eurovox just someone could see the advantage of using the name but it does all that the other clone 500c do
they update same as the dreambox 500c ie auto update or manualy enter keys

I got that bit seeing as the box isn't on the official site. I was wondering if it could run its own software and flash like Eurovoxes, and Starviews or update like dboxes or something entirely different.

Thanks for letting us know that, What about heat? Does it ever get too hot?
