Is is possible to ftp a downloaded film from my laptop onto the hdd in a d800 so I can watch thru my tv?

media/hdd/movie ?

That worked a treat - watching thru the dreambox now - only problem is that annoying winavi watermark!

Not to worry - I'll borrow a copy off the net. Thanks away. Can the D800 only play mpeg? I have a few mkv files also.

Yeah mate only mpeg mate but apparently the new clone 800se can play more formats including avi.

It should be able to convertconvert avi files also if I am right. Let me know if you cant get it over the weekend and if you cant ill send you a copy on Monday can store it to a stick and send from work.

Cool mate as a said its pretty fast and does the job well. Needs hoping the 800se lives up to the name its been getting as no converting sounds good along with what else it has to offer.
