Interesting... Thanks for that Rolf. I'm looking at DM500s' on
Ebay

for around the 160quid mark. Seems not too bad. Am I right in assuming that I can just ftp new firmwares onto the dreambox over the network?
While I don't currently have any emu firmware on my comag, that's mostly because I can't be bothered with keeping the hexes (or summat) up to date because that means trucking the box upstairs to the PC. So some way of remotely updating stuff like that would be brill.
Ah, for the happy days of my old 486 sitting on top of my analouge Astra box, poised to see if the hexes had changed for the Adult channel!
I mostly watch FTA these days, and I enjoy all the WTF? moments hotbird brings me, but I hate to feel that I'm missing out on some good stuff just because my comag is getting a big long in the tooth!
