First post on here, but I have been reading the site for a while.

Have been thinking of moving away from my FreeSat HD to the world of motorised sat, the wall that the current sat is mounted is south facing so would be perfect for the upgrade.

So I have been thinking of getting a Dreambox 800 HD, but something I can't find out about it is, if you're using HDMI from the DVI output, how is the sound connected? usually DVI does not output sound, so does it work?

Also, any opinion on my choice of box, are there better boxes out there for the same money (or even less..)

TIA

Just found the answer, it's a Gen2 DVI, so carries Audio.
