Nokia Dbox2 is it worth keeping

[theitalian]

Hi All i'm new to this. I decided to join because i now have a dbox which is just sitting there doing nothing since N3 arrived. What else can it be used for or does it become useless now?

You can still use it for streaming movies from your pc to tv.

I can do that direct from my laptop to the tv. I just hook up my laptop to the tv and i can watch movies. so it does make my box usless..

Ok your box is useless Can you watch tv wirelessly from your laptop ?

[theitalian]

Any box with a ethenet like a DBox may be worth hanging on to but we are not allowed to discuss that certain topic.....

[Funnyguy]

Will people still be able to watch freeview channels on the dbox?

I have seen on ebay Germany many sellers selling Satellite tuners for Sagem & Nokia boxes.

No idea if you can just change the tuner and use it as a satellite receiver ( Abeit a bit of soldering and drilling holes in the rear panel )

I'm running a Philips Sat dBox2 and its as good as my Dreambox. If the tuners can be changed at least you could use it for other things

and solderings harder than you think on them tuners mate believe me

I managed to Change a tuner on a DM7000 without too much difficulty.

I found as long as you have the vacuum to suck up the solder when its in a liquid state its fairly straight forward

Make sure you get the right wattage soldering iron and soldering tip too as a high wattage one can damage the circuit board...
