Been looking to try and escape the shackles of sky equipment for a while now, and the dream box seems to be very promising.
I had a quick skim through the pinned topics on this forum as well, and I think I get the main idea of what is required, just have few questions.
Basically the two main appeals of getting this kind of setup is
1) Direct record of my paid sky sub to PC. I presume this is posible using newcamd?
2) Getting an ART sport card to watch footie. Presumably though I'm going to need a motorised dish to switch between sky and art sport satellites/other satellites?
Other questions:
3) What are the key differences between the 7xxx dreambox and the 5xx dreambox; just no space for hard drive?
4) I have sky mainly for the sci-fi on sky one and movies, just wondering wether they're is any really good english language channels I can pick up with this new system that I couldn't pick up before?
5) Can I pickup Polish language channels to keep my mum happy?
Thanks for your replies in advance, I know newbie posts can get tiresome, but I have been looking around the web for a while now and have not come to any conclusions. So would appreciate the help.
