[QUOTE="damhy, post: 82069, member: 181680"] I understand fully what you are saying here, its just I was thinking about getting a fanless PC to run as a silent server, maybe putting the SkyStar2 in it, so that it would effectively be a windows dreambox. This option is somewhat more costly and I doubt anywhere near as good as a satellite receiver than the dreambox which is a dedicated satellite receiver but with the ability to do some desktop computer type things. I too have many PCs, but I dont like leaving them on when nobody is in to call the firebrigade if they were ever to catch alight. Just I would have liked to run some server applications on a computer that's never going to be shutdown. I would feel a lot more confident about leaving a satellite receiver on constantly! Though at the same time a satellite receiver that cannot show you satellite things because it is clogged down running non satellite applications is somewhat defeating the object. P.S. Thanks for the links, i'm just about to go and have a read through. [/QUOTE]
