Installing 2 dreamboxes

[horsegun]

Hello

Just wondered if it is a problem to setup and run 2 dreamboxes split off the same line.

I have a dreambox in the lounge and would like one upstairs and would ideally look towards watching different channels at the same time.

Firstly is this possible of the same line and are the cable supplier able to tell if I am doing this?

Cheers

yes no problem m8 . no talk back on dreamboxs

Yip, you'll get all the channels on both boxes and you can watch different channels on both boxes.

Thanks for the quick responses.

Is there liable to be any issues trying to get them to record/communicate to the same PC or network HDD?

[Devilfish]

None that I can see.

As long as they both have different ip addresses and identicle mount settings they should be fine.

It is a bit more fun if you want them o be in the same room. All dreamboxes use the same remote control codes so both boxes would respond to each button press

You can use the DBSwitch plugin to disable one dreambox.

You can use the DBSwitch plugin to disable one dreambox.

Better than that is to program your remote to control both independently

I will do a write up when I get chance ( more likely I will copy the write up I did on a sat forum about it )

i would be interested in this.
i've got a 600c and 7000s and they interfere with each other.
i've tried the dbswitch but its not ideal.
