I Wonder.....

[smokey_jnr]

is there a box which can have the sat and cable running simultanesouly as in you don't need to flick a switch to change between sat and cable like 500cs...??

any info would be great..

[cgscott]

No you have to flick between them as the tuners are seperate.

[thered]

yes there is i told you about 2 hours a go i have one dreambox 7025 it works great

[cgscott]

Does this stream both at the same time?

My bad.

[thered]

yes you can use it like you would sky+ you can record say a satellite channel whilst watching cable or vice versa it not a bad box the tuners are mixable you could have 2 for cable if you want or whatever it also takes a dvb-t tuner too if you wanted

Can the 7025 AU a Sky card. I am thinking of just getting one of these for the main television as mrs does not like the clutter of lots of boxes.

thanks.

not too sure on that but im sure i have read somewhere you can alternatively if you cant you could get 2 cable tuners or go the cardsharing route but i think it is possible

im sure someone will clarify

the only thing you would get from a sky dish is sky but if you arnt paying subs it would be freeview

to get the most from your dish you want as big a dish as possible but i think an 80cm will pick up a few main ones

[smokey_jnr]

all i want is the free to air channels on sky.. i don't pay for sky i cancelled my sub years ago..

[thered]

well the dish size would suit your needs

[smokey_jnr]

where can i get one of these boxes and the software from...?

[thered]

the software you can get on here the link is in the last thread you replied too on a cable and satellite dm 500

[smokey_jnr]

the box is a bit expensive aint it..??

no alternative from china or sumin...?

[thered]

maybe m8 i dont know i thought that was a bit expensive for a freeview box
in sure they are alternatives though
