Thinking about a dreambox again(DM-7000S) after talking myself out of it, in a thread the other week. I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone will know the answers to.
1) Is the dreambox HDTV compatible for HDTV TV's?
2) Can it take a HDTV channel and shrink it down to run on a normal TV?
3) I read somewhere you can run edonkey(overnet) on the dreambox, does anyone know anything about it? How does it affect watching TV, can it run in the background and let you watch TV at the same time?
4) Can you use it for checking emails, I have a lan in my house running the broadband through a router, so the connection shouldnt be a problem.
5) Similar line of thought really, can you run Gaim or something similar to use MSN chat on your TV?
6) When you do things like check emails and use chat software, do you lose the satpicture or can you make it smaller, like say you could with a skystar2 card on windows?
7) Does anyone know where I can find screenshots of the dreambox menus/interfaces, since it would be nice to see a little of how it operates, especially if it shows things like email/gaim running.
Thanks
