Hi all. Top level pointers needed from n00b

[keratos]

Personally i think your asking far to many questions and you wont get the answers what you want.
People will help and guide you but no ones gonna spoon feed you everything.
We started the same way so get a box decide if you want hd and take it from there.
If its cheap try the Openbox but personally i would say buy the Dreamnbox 800hd for good all round support,
Also read the rules as we cant talk about servers on here.

I presume you actually mean decide if I want HD and THEN get a box. Rather late in the day to procure a SD box then decide I want HD.

And "asking two many questions"
Well, I feel this forum is not the centre of excellence I was led to believe. - what a forum with "too many questions".

From your grammatical errors I presume you are many many years younger than myself - I was most probably hacking prestel before you were even a twinkle pal.

Yep, read that - many thanks.
However, I already have a sly dish up there on the wall,cabled up to the STB. My approach, and by all means interject if you feel there is a better way, was to do this by risk reduction -as in start with a working system and swap-out piece by piece.

i would agree that thats the best way

1.The DM500s is HD? If not then what do you think of the Openbox S9 HD?

no dm500 is sd; openbox s10 would be best/cheapest for you starting off
2.If sharing over the net, what is the up/down stream speeds required to get an sly+ comparable quality of picture?

very little bandwidth needed, just dont go downloading loads of torrents whilst trying to watch
3. Do servers tend to go offline/change and if so then would this need constant "fiddling" with the modded box?
some do, some dont, the beauty of it is, most will give you a free 24 hr test.. if server goes offline, the only thing you CAN do at your end would be to get a new server if its a constant thing, this involves copying and pasting a line of text
4.Do I need motorised dish to receive the "usual channels" here in the UK - only I was thinking that if I maintain my sly subscription and share that, other channels would be over the net and not a satellite change , or is there a better way?
start off with sly minidish is fine
5. Do I need to put my slybox on eBay and buy 2xDM500s / 2xOpenboxS9 to do a local share in my home for Sly, or can I use the existing Slybox and buy 1 DM/Openbox ?
to share you will need 2x dms or similar yes

Dont forget, we all started somewhere.
yes we did,

Sometimes i think its better to just not post.
I didnt think i said anything wrong other than dont make any rash posts concerning the c/s side of things.
That was more a word of warning and perhaps some things you write never come across as they would if you said them verbally.
Still didnt think the response was great though especially comparing me to a juvenile delinquent.
I dont care that much for how i spell things but i still feel even in an open forum there were too many questions to be answered.
Anyway i swallowed my pride and sent a visitor message and apologised if i offended him.
