[QUOTE="dforster, post: 781932, member: 370414"] Update Dec 2011 The Dreambox is still going perfectly. In fact, after watching the picture it gives on a decent HD TV for a while, you can't watch anything else without thinking the Dreambox does it better. I web in and watch my progs from all over the place, always works like a dream. Still on the Nab Black Hole image and this is fine. One issue I thought I would air is that I purchased the unit from what I thought was apparantly an all knowing supplier, a sort of Dreambox Superstore if you like. They not only fitted a too fast (and thus too hot running) hard drive but also saw fit to connect this to the wrong connector on the M/B. When you are new to this these guys are more interested in your cash than your sanity! If you are buying one of these Dreamboxes, be warned a big web site with lots of nice warm cuddly chat does not mean a thing. Ask questions that if they can't answer DONT BUY. If they tell you they know it all, TAKE 5 and have a think. Also check for a telephone number that answers BEFORE YOU BUY, and if they have only one guy in the company who 'does the Dreamboxes' - BUY FROM SOMEONE ELSE. He will be sick when you need him most! Best still, get a genuine unit and come here for advice. Happy new year to all. Dan [/QUOTE]
