I was just wondering about image support.

In addition it does not have CAM slots like for example the DM5620s which is still cheaper (159 Euros or £108 on Ebay).

My view is that it does not seem to be a good bargain. Any other view?

Has anyone tried this receiver (DM 500S), or know anything about it.
It got quite a good review in What Sat, but do you know something they don't.
:( or :-righton
