Can't find anything on fleabay, let me know if you decide to sell yours Waq, and we can talk £££.

BTW, Waq, what happened to the 1meter dish you got? (just noticed you're using a sky mini dish??)

Lets say my dad didnt want to pay for it to be installed professiona lly after they couldnt get it up in the first place. I, myself am afraid of heights so its not for me lol. Its now in the cellar and I think Ive scared my parents in to putting it up now, because of whats been going on with Leeds-news has finally got around to them lol. I may keep my receiver now unless they can get something like the SV 6 working for the UK with a free server.-would prefer if they did something something for the SV HD

Theres always the Dreambox DM600PVR thats worth looking at

Its able to CS and it can be purchased with a Cable tuner

If everything goes tits up on cable which i'm guessing it will in the not so distant future all you need to do is buy a new sat tuner, unplug the old cable one, and plug in the sat one and change the image and your back in business

you can keep the cable tuner just in case N3 gets cracked or if you decide to CS with the cable card.

Its only Nagra 3 so there isn't any reason why it shouldn't work if you have the correct boxkey and RSA. Probably in much the same way as Polsat and Zon on satellite

Nano

Ah, but some DM 600(clones) have soldered tuners and you'd pay more. You wont really know the quality really either as they are produced in lots of different factories. With the OM, Im guessing only one company actually makes the product

Itgate for Cable ,also has push in tuner for Sat
And is a top Box for C/S................Paul

waqasahmed · 06-02-10, 01:38 AM

Aint bad, except for the cost lol. For the extra £20-£40 for only one tuner, it doesnt quite cut it for me especially as there is a lot of support behind the dm 500C and 500S, meaning that clones become automatically supported(excluding gemini)
