Default What is Dreambox8000

The Dreambox DM8000 will have a 723 MHz IBM processor, and come with 2 CI slots and 2 integrated card
readers. It will also have an internal DVD drive (recordable? :? ) and space for an HDD of between 80 and 300GB.
It may be that the HDD is on some kind of removable caddy system.

The 8000 will support multiple HDTV standards, including MPEG4/H.264 - that to be implemented by Sky in the UK!

An improved power supply unit is included which will finally solve all previous PSU-related problems for good :clap:.

A USB 2 port is also included as well as the standard RS232 serial port and Fast Ethernet port (no Gigabit )

It looks like the front of the box will house a multi-function (10) card reader so that you can easily load/access data, photos, mp3 etc.

The LCD display has increased in size to 3,5x 5.5 cm.

Naturally Linux is still the operating system, however it will be packaged in an 'easier to use form'. We can only guess that means a complete re-write of Enigma.

These details are still very sketchy. More news as we find it out

Specifications:

Tuner: Twin tuner (optional card)
O/S: Linux (open source)
Video connections: DVI, HDMI
Supported video standards: MPEG2, MPEG4/H.264 & WM9 (HDTV compliant)
CPU: 723MHz IBM
Memory (RAM): 128 Mb
Flash Memory: 32 Mb
Network: 100 MBit full duplex Ethernet interface
MiniPCI slot
Super cool display (RGB color adjustable)
Drives: Slimline DVD player (optional) HDD (optional)
2 x CI, with eject button
2 x Smartcard reader & 1 SIM card reader (internal)
Multiple layer 3D menu (16 milion colors)
USB 2.0

The dream multimedia site is very quite about this, Iwould have thought they would have liked to have it ready before Christmas.
