i started to open it & by the way it was wrapped i knew it was something special, came with 2 built in s2 hd sat tuners, installed another sat tuner & cable tuner, also had a vip membership card & a usb recovery stick, ive installed a 500mb samsung hdd, but box doesnt see it, will have a play, the dreamcrypt card reader wont read my sly uk hd card, so will have to use a 500s to send sly to it, got cable up & running though, will post more as i get more into it.

Yeah man well jealous.

Im saving for 1 too, hopefully end of the month for me.

You say there was to 2 sat tuners installed already. To clarify did you added a third sat tuner and 1 cable tuner yourself because you bought them extra? If so was it easy to install the extra tuners?

I ask because when I get mine I will need 2 sat tuners and 2 cable tuners so wondering wot I need to buy extra!

[okman]

very nice. i wish i could get one. enjoy the new toy.

[fatbloke]

Yes I got mine yesterday and have been up all-night playing.
I fitted a 1tb hard drive and a DVD player as well.
I am using blackhole 0.7 and I think it is a great image,I have 2 sat tuners and a cable tuner..I had difficulty setting up the cable side of things but I managed somehow.

2 sat tuners are built in, they just push into the 2 spare slots, you will need 2 cable tuners

havin trouble with my hdd, box doesnt see it, did you use the pc style 4 pin power plug or the little white power plug or do you need them both, also do you have a link to the dvd writer you used? did you manage to set up wireless lan?

[fatbloke]

Yes you need them both the tiny white one is for your slimline DVD player and the pc type plugs into the motherboard of the dreambox.
I have a pdf file showing how it should be done - PM me your email and I will send it too you.

[fatbloke]

I am sorry but is late and I only scanned your message so I missed key points.
These are the drives I used.
Samsung SN-S083A Notebook 8x DVD?RW DL & DVD-RAM SATA Internal
Samsung SpinPoint F1 HD103UJ 1TB Hard Drive SATAII *32MB Cache.
I brought them from ebuyer.com.
I am using a wired Ethernet connection,so no I haven't tried to set-up the wireless connection.
