    Nokia Dbox2 is it worth keeping

    Hi All i'm new to this. I decided to join because i now have a dbox which is just sitting there doing nothing since N3 arrived. What else can it be used for or does it become useless now?

      You can still use it for streaming movies from your pc to tv.

      THE TRUTH
      The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

      Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
      The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

                        I have seen on ebay Germany many sellers selling Satellite tuners for Sagem & Nokia boxes.

                        No idea if you can just change the tuner and use it as a satellite receiver ( Abeit a bit of soldering and drilling holes in the rear panel )

                        I'm running a Philips Sat dBox2 and its as good as my Dreambox. If the tuners can be changed at least you could use it for other things

                            I managed to Change a tuner on a DM7000 without too much difficulty.

                            I found as long as you have the vacuum to suck up the solder when its in a liquid state its fairly straight forward

                              Make sure you get the right wattage soldering iron and soldering tip too as a high wattage one can damage the circuit board...
