How are these 500cs boxes working out for everyone?
I'm thinking of ordering one from dvb-shop but I'm not entirley convinced yet.
I'm a complete noob to cable and sat so would this box be to complicated for a beginer?Comment

These boxes are really good m8. I won mine so didnt have to pay for it.
If you are serious about moving into the sat scene and also want to have cable then they are a good buy. If you are not really bothered about satellite then just go for a normal 500c.
The Openmedia boxes are no more complicated then the Dreambox 500's as they use the same images, all the same tools, and are essentially the same hardware inside. They just have both sat and cable tuners.
My thinking is that when things do go tits up for cable, i will still have my sat setup to fall back on until some one nice person manages to crack it again

Well done for winning your box mate. Unfortunatly it looks like I'll have to pay for mine.
I'm not really that bothered about sat at the moment but once I get the hang of cable I'll want a new chalange so it'll be good to have sat to play with in the future.
I'm also thinking along the same lines as you that when cable gets locked down I'll have sat to fall back on and not just have a cable box shaped door stop.
From what i can understand these boxes are Linux based. Will my basic Linux skills be any help to me when setting the thing up?Comment

Satellite tv is much more of a challenge and much more fun and more experimental and better..this is a hobby a million times better than cable so even if you dont want sat yet look ahead..sat tv is amazing..

Hope these are as good as they read....!!
Just ordered one and cannot wait to get started. Used to do dboxes all the time and some fun and atmega stuff but wanting to look at sat as well and this appears to be a great way to do it.
ThanksComment

I decided to stop thinking about it and just buy one eventualy at 2am Saturday morning from dvb-shop and it arived Tuesday morning. Thats what I call good delivery times.
Spent 7 hours playing with it Tuesday night and couldn't pick up a single channel on sat. Picked up about 400 channels on cable but mostly just black screen.
Tonight all channels suddenly started working but I don't know what I did so I've not really learnt anything.
Quite a steep lerning curve for a compleat bigginer like me but all in all this is an amazing box.Comment

OM500cs looks like perfect solution but honestly bit to good to be truth. Will it handle properly both sat and cable at the same time or is sat completely shut when cable is on..?Comment
