I am thinking of buying the new Dreambox 8000 HD Satellite Receiver, I have a Dreambox 500 at the min and love it but want to now get the benefit of my HD TV but the downfall is, the price, should I wait or just bite the bullet and buy it now?? or will it gradually come down in price by the end of the year or so??
if/when i do get it, what is the best connection to get the HD picture and sound?
is it the DVI slot, component or DVI to HDMI cable??
my plan is to have the Dreambox 8000 downstairs and my Dreambox 500 in my bedroom, is this possible,
also, with the 8000 having twin sat tuners am i able to do the following;
my motorised dish/lnb has 2 outputs, a cable is going to the front room and the 2nd is going to my bedroom, and i have a sky minidish,
on the 8000; could i plug the motorised dish/lnb in the 1st tuner and the mini dish in the 2nd tuner then,
on the 500; could i plug the 2nd cable (coming from the motorised dish/lnb) so if i want to watch foreign or sky in my bedroom i can turn to whichever satelite on the 8000 (which wil also give me a choice of satelite to watch manually) on the 500 so my perents can still watch sky downstairs on the 8000 via the minidish on the 2nd tuner
am i able to do this ? (thats the best i could explain it, lol
basicly so i can watch either foreign or sky downstairs automaticly and upstairs, whichever the motorised dish is pointing to
Thanks
