[QUOTE="JTA, post: 181177, member: 191063"] well, let's think - it's basically a unix computer so when it freezes you push alt-ctrl-del to reboot the box (no, that's not a joke) - you plug it into your network - you give it access to the internet - you can load & install several images to your liking - with a USB stick you can set it up for multi-boot images - it has a hard disk for recording programmes on it (not on all models !) - using the LAN it can be controlled from a remote pc - you can even watch the dreambox stream on this remote pc, great if you're lying on the grass during the summer months - there are loads of pc tools for controlling every aspect of that box, be it ftp, telnet, recording settings, key updating, or more - you can write your own scripts and launch them at pre-determined times - you can copy any recorded programme to your pc and edit it and burn it onto a dvd - using the internet, it will fetch key-files or EPG listings - you have 2 card slots, one common interface ànd a serial port - the card slots are controlled by software, which can be upgraded when new cards or protocols arrive - the same goes for the emulators used to descramble the channels - you can download & install skins - you can make your own skin - you can download & play games on it, like pacman, chess and much much more - you can download and use a wealth of plugins written by enthousiastic amateurs and professionals - you can get weather reports for your area, or maps of foreign countries, there even is a world-wide list of webcams available (yes, with pictures) - yes, you CAN browse the internet too (better on pc, though) - going even further, you can share official cards between several users - you can use it to display your holiday pictures - and last but not least : you can use it as a mp3 player all this from that tiny box. Need I say more ? [/QUOTE]
