[QUOTE="manu06, post: 682630, member: 348033"] Hi all ! I received my DB 500 HD a couple of days ago and it is now up and running decoding most of the packages at 19.2 deg. Note that it is my very first DB and I absolutely no idea how the other versions perform/look like. When opening the box, I was surprised with its relatively small sized. Its width is no longer than the length of the remote control. It is thin, about 3 cm I would say. Design is beautiful, quite heavy in hand and does not look cheap at all. I am much less convinced with the design of the remote control but on the other hand it is pretty handy, I can hold it very well due to its oversized and rounded body. The boot time is rather fast, I do not have exact numbers to give but it is similar to my previous official decoder. I installed Dream Elite BH 1.2 through the network. It was straightforward and fast. I added the CCcam plugin using the remote control and copied the conf file in /var/etc in /var/etc. Everything worked straight away ! HD is nicely decoded on my panasonic V10. Zapping time is very fast. I have about 10 peers and very little traffic is generated on my access router, less than 10kbps. When looking at the load of the DB (telnet then top), we have : Mem: 109444K used, 35684K free, 0K shrd, 0K buff, 49352K cached CPU: 0% usr 0% sys 0% nic 98% idle 0% io 0% irq 0% sirq Load average: 0.12 0.15 0.10 2/69 28857 PID PPID USER STAT VSZ %MEM %CPU COMMAND 694 691 root S 73276 50% 1% /usr/bin/enigma2 791 1 root S 24184 17% 0% /usr/bin/CCcam_214 28847 776 root R 2840 2% 0% top 788 1 root S 24184 17% 0% /usr/bin/CCcam_214 738 1 root S 24184 17% 0% /usr/bin/CCcam_214 312 1 root SW 0 0% 0% [b_event] 701 691 root S 73276 50% 0% /usr/bin/enigma2 [...] CPU usage is very low. The CPU is 98% idle and applications are in sleeping state most of the time. I have not heard the fan so far. I have not checked if it is turning or not. I read somewhere that the Dream Elite firmware stopped it for some reasons but I am not sure. Anyway, I should have a look at the CPU temperature... Best regards Manu [/QUOTE]
