[QUOTE="adiab, post: 651156, member: 329977"] I have a very similar setup to you: a dreambox 8000HD, with a fixed dish on 28.2, and a motorised dish. I got a 1.5 TB hard drive. to answer your questions: 1. yes, I can receive all the FTA channels including the HD 2. Full EPG on all channels as standard:no, for most channels I only get a now and next, not the full day. I read something online somewhere saying that there's a work around, but I haven't yet bothered to look into it. I am using the pli image as you get more epg than with other images, but still not everything. FTA channels are better 3. Freesat EPG seems to work fine for me, perhaps because I have the epgrefresh plugin 4. yes, 3.5" 1T should would fine 5. Yes, you can record one from each sat, or 2 from the same sat - any more than that and you would need to get some additional DVB-S2 tuners. You can fit an extra 2 into the dreambox 8000. I've been thinking about getting an extra 2 as I have 2 cables from each dish, and at the moment I can only use one from each. Would be useful as I sometimes need to record one from each sat and watch something at the same time, or watching 3 programs (streaming/multi room) Hope that helps [/QUOTE]
