I Wonder.....

[smokey_jnr]

is there a box which can have the sat and cable running simultanesouly as in you don't need to flick a switch to change between sat and cable like 500cs...??

any info would be great..

[cgscott]

No you have to flick between them as the tuners are seperate.

[thered]

yes there is i told you about 2 hours a go i have one dreambox 7025 it works great

[cgscott]

Does this stream both at the same time?

My bad.

[thered]

yes you can use it like you would sky+ you can record say a satellite channel whilst watching cable or vice versa it not a bad box the tuners are mixable you could have 2 for cable if you want or whatever it also takes a dvb-t tuner too if you wanted

[smokey_jnr]

will a normal s*y dish do the job or do i need to fit in a dish..??

Can the 7025 AU a Sky card. I am thinking of just getting one of these for the main television as mrs does not like the clutter of lots of boxes.

thanks.

not too sure on that but im sure i have read somewhere you can alternatively if you cant you could get 2 cable tuners or go the cardsharing route but i think it is possible

im sure someone will clarify

the only thing you would get from a sky dish is sky but if you arnt paying subs it would be freeview

to get the most from your dish you want as big a dish as possible but i think an 80cm will pick up a few main ones

[smokey_jnr]

all i want is the free to air channels on sky.. i don't pay for sky i cancelled my sub years ago..

[thered]

well the dish size would suit your needs

[smokey_jnr]

where can i get one of these boxes and the software from...?

[thered]

the software you can get on here the link is in the last thread you replied too on a cable and satellite dm 500

[smokey_jnr]

the box is a bit expensive aint it..??

no alternative from china or sumin...?

[thered]

maybe m8 i dont know i thought that was a bit expensive for a freeview box lol
in sure they are alternatives though

[smokey_jnr]

do you have one...??

what is your setup..? if ou don;t mind me asking

[smokey_jnr]

Mr Max-Gee i see you viewing this post, can you please shed some light on this.. i have been told you are the guru..

[thered]

cant think of any m8 im just getting up and running myself really

i have a 1.1mtr motorised dish with dreambox 7025 cable and satellite tuners i also have a eurovox

im just getting started really c/s for me next

[smokey_jnr]

on your dreambox, can you be watching a channel on sky and then flick over to a cable channel without having to do anything special

[thered]

yeh or record one while watching another

I read on another forum that you can do that. No need to flick a switch. Would be good to know if a 7025 can AU a sky card because that is the only thing holding me back from getting one.

[thered]

im pretty sure i read somewhere cccam will read and update a sky card someone verify?

Chap on the dreambox sat subforum has confirmed the 7025 can do this.

Looks like I will be getting one of these soon.

[thered]

well its a good box m8 theres no doubt about it i have cable and sattelite tuners but you can take your pick whichever suits you most

[bigman2]

thered,

If it does all that then you can't really go wrong. It is a bit pricey but then again if it AU then there are CS possibilities which will save me a bit of money.

Is it easy as the openmedia to setup/flash etc ?

Also did you pay ?399 for it ?

[thered]

well all il say is when you know what you doing its a piece of piss but thanks to people on here it doesnt take long and yeh i did welll actually i paid more cos i got the hd fitted but its money well spent

[bigman2]

I think I will get one after xmas. Got some money due from spreadbetting around then so will wait for that to come through and splash out.

What size HDD did you go for ? I take it you can record sat and watch a different channel on the cable side etc.

[Noz]

Thanks all for info may be getting one of these myself

[bog1]

umm you cant put to deffrent tuners in this box ill look in to it more
