I have been following the Abcom IPbox annoucements about having a product that is linux based with either 1 or 2 tuners, it has a HDMI port and is capable of some amazing things as below this site will show its capabilities.

AB-COM - Satellite components and accessories - Products (http://www.abipbox.com/Default.aspx?CatID=7&productId=1018)

These are available from germany for 299 euros and I have already found some images available for it.

Does anyone have any insights into HD Cable is it just a case of having a HD capable box to show channels or is there more involved in recieving these signals?

you would need to buy an expensive cable tuner with it though, they come supplied with sat tuner,,,, you will find them fully released in uk this week :)

There is also a cable version that comes with a cable tuner. but of-course no support from UK team. But I assume that the 9000 will have a choice of tuner. I heard that it is pretty tricky getting sat and kablel to function properly together is this the case?

PM me for link to where i saw them

I was looking at these last week, they've boxes available to order with dual cable tuners.

Looks a very tidy piece of kit, but it's gonna set you back ?560

Think I'll stick with my dbox for a little longer !!

is it worth having a cable tuner for hd, its been in the news v*rgin are not going to do more hd programmes, so its expensive for bbc hd, id suggest people only pay that much if there using it for sat.

cheap 500 and get everything but bbchd or mucho expensivo to have bbchd.



sat only for that money in my eyes.

IPBox 900HD support 1080i only I am not sure if DM800 is the same as well. Picture quality is good but the teletext dont work like DM500 TuxText 1.99

Quality is good, it has built-in SATA interface. So far there are SiF and NLB firmware is available.

There is still loads of bugs in the images for IP box.

The main ones i experience are when switching between HD and SD , if your too fast the box can Panic.

Also the incubuscamd is not stable, it locks out after a while, mainly on mine , when i switch on in the morning its lost connection, but takes a second to change channel and its ok again.

There is many other bugs, and once the developers sort them out this box will take some beating, the major problem is, that dreambox has massive support, the IPbox is still fairly new.
