For some odd reason German Supermarkets are always having these multi sat receiver deals, but, what caught my eye was this pretty cool (as an idea, not in looks) hot-swap HHD DVB-T Receiver/PVR from SkyMaster.

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

Either way, it's all jibberish to me.... :-rofl2

That PVR though, are there 2 versions there? One for DVB-S (DXR-8000) and on for DVB-T (DTR-4000)? As I said, German's all jibberish to me so I haven't a clue what it says... :confused

The box in the pic seems to have the Sat-receiver's model on it...

Typisch T_G, hehe. He's right BTW. Do I care? Not at all. I was in a rush: Next!

Why did I post the pic? You know the score. Manufacturer's make a couple of versions of their HDD recorders, say like 160GB & 250GB (price diff. extreme) - and promptly firmware limit them so you can't do a DIY upgrade yourself.

For 2CV sorry about the text. I thought you all might just be interested in the pics and prices. You are right, I was in a rush, the one shown is the SAT receiver:mad: So, Sorry, again.

Digital Satellite Receiver DXR 8000.
Storage space for 4000 channels
DiSEqC 1.0 & 1.2

Digital DVB-T Receiver DTR 4000
Storage space for 1000 channels

Options for both the DXR 8000 & DTR 4000
Video recorder option by means of a standard PC hard drive up to 240GB (doesn't say what speed - I'd go for a slow one).
Auto Recognition and formatting of HDD.
S-VHS o/p
2x SCART o/p


Sold without HDD.

As for the sat stuff: Quad LNB with integrated multi switch (DiSEqC 1.0), Storage for 2000 programmes, OSD/MENU (doesn't say what languages), EPG, Software upgrade via satellite, 2 SCART outs, and a remote control for each unit. :-Nooo

The SKYMaster looks like a Trabbant - but gets my juices going nevertheless.

Looks interesting, but it's over there, and I'm over here (without much money after that £20 BSB dish!!!), and I have no spare hard drives... :D

Nah Nah! :p

Don't you like the idea of hot-swapping though (actually, I am sure they recommend that you turn the device off first - but you get the idea).

I have a Samsung HDD PVR (80G:cool: - wanted to upgrade the drive but the firmware won't let me :mad:
