    Recommend a dreambox!

    I would like to buy a dreambox.
    I have virgin broadband on a 10mb line. I am also subscribed to the tv services too!

    I would like to have a box which:

    can display hd
    able to stream from my pc
    able to be connect a wireless keyboard/mouse
    i want to be able to watch one channel and record another
    have a built in hard drive for storage.
    have built in wifi
    be able to surf the web!

    Does such a thing exist? any recommendations?

    additional question: Does watching HD trigger any alarm bells at VM?

    Awaiting your responses!

        yeh as been said dont bother for cable its gone

        but you can get twin tuner dreamboxes for satellite if you wanted i have a DM7025 although this does not do HD the dm 8000 does but its very pricey at around ?800

        you could buy 2 dm800 clones though for around ?400 which should give you nearly everything you want and do the same job as a twin tuner

        btw you would need to fit HDD yourself or ask when you buy for additional fee

          so no boxes are working with cable anymore?

          if not then i will settle for something that will just give the channels!

                so all dreamboxes and starview boxes (bascially anything to do with VM) will be rendered obsolete?
