[QUOTE="cliffb@, post: 408376, member: 260739"] Sorry to hijack this thread but it seems to have gone quiet... Please forgive my many questions on this first post but you seem to be the man with the knowledge and experience. I'm contemplating buying a DM600PVR (I've now ruled out Relook after your post). I have just set up a TF5800PVR + SLUG for Freeview terrestrial purposes and would like to provide a similar arrangement for SKY and possibly other satellites that my dish can see maybe even going back to a movable dish but SKY is the main concern for the family. I currently have a SKY dish (with subscription) and a Panasonic receiver. I'm technically savvy in electronics and Linux/software so configuration is not a concern. My questions are: 1) Can a DM600PVR use a normal SKY card to provide access to encrypted channels? (We actually only watch SKY ONE so have the minimum subscription) 2) Can I reuse my SKY dish and just connect it to the DM600PVR? 3) Can I transfer recorded files to another system over the Ethernet connection? 4) Are the recorded files playable without a card? 5) What format are the files? (.rec etc) 6) Can VLC play the files (and transcode of course)? 7) Does the unit provide full remote programming over the ethernet port (eg a web interface like I run on IIS to control the TF5800PVR via the SLUG although any TCP/IP based protocol would be OK)? A linux based unit with community support is the only way to go IMHO. If the answers to the above are 'yes' then it's a wonder box! Thank you in advance for your assistance. [/QUOTE]
