which dreambox for recording?

[h_p]

Hi all,

I am in the process of buying a dreambox but wanted to know which one I should go for.

I will be connecting it to a motorised dish to use CCcam and load images for european satellites.

1. Are the current images available on all boxes or are there different images for each box, if so which box is better supported?

2. I would like to record on this box, preferably recording one channel while watching another - I beleieve the box requires a twin tuner, if so which box will allow me to do this?

3. An added bonus will be a box that has a usb port which will allow me to connect an external hard drive and use this as a PVR function rather than recording on a built in hard drive or installnig a laptop hard drive, which I understand the DM 600 does.

4. Unfortunately I cannot afford the DM 800/8000. Although I would consider a clone if they are reccomended and are well supported?

5. can you reccomend any suppliers?

Any help will be much appreciated, also if you can reccomend any suppliers that will be good.

Thanks

H

That is way too little for a genuine DMM 600, you have bought a copy mate, so as per my instructions in a reply to a thread you started, DO NOT FLASH THIS BOX WITH THE GEMINI IMAGE.

You might also find that this copy will not drive a motor properly. Sorry but you get what you pay for and sometimes it is better to spend a wee bit more and you get something cheaper that way, if you understand what I am saying.

Hi mate,
What you need is a dreambox 7025, it will do just about all you want, not sure about recording using it's USB port, but it has one OK. You would get one from Ian at Southern Satellites, he is a good bloke and can help you with anything you need, dishes and motors etc. Southern Satellite Superstore for Receivers, Dishes, Viewing Cards and all Things Satellite and Freeview

Good luck with your setup and I hope you will have a great time with your new toy.
