What are the advantages for this?
If you have a standalone DVD player, then you just put the disc and hit play. The prices these days for a standalone might be even cheaper than a DVD PC drive.
I don't think that the 7025S has a provision for installing a DVD PC drive inside, so there is the problem of how it would look like in the end, presumably in the sitting room.
Then there is the problem of recognition of the drive by the software and how would it distinguish using the remote player keys between the HDD recorded content and the DVD drive.
The new Dreambox 800 HD has provision for a DVD, so it shouldn't be that hard to do.
Please let us know how you get it on with this idea.
