[QUOTE="sragoo, post: 165241, member: 190494"] Hi all, I have been using a Satellite receiver for the past year and now the bug to buy a linux based receiver seems to have bitten me ! Having had a look around and the support available, I am thinking of buying a DreamBox. Price for the models available from the local authorised dealer (the only one) quoted to me are as follows without HDD (inclusive of local taxes) : DM 7025 S --- GBP 420 DM 7020 S --- GBP 360 DM 500 S --- GBP 190 I am in North Africa and buying it over the internet from Europe or elsewhere and having it shipped to my location is fraught with risks especially since customs procedures etc are cumbersome. My requirements are - to be able to Cardshare (as client!), auto update software/firmware/keys. I have a home LAN with a router and a good internet connection over ADSL and [I]au fait[/I] with Linux. Would you please advise me on the following : 1. Is DreamBox a good choice? 2. Are the prices quoted reasonable? 3. What Model should I choose? 4. Things to keep in mind when buying and installing. cheers :-beer SR [/QUOTE]
