I usd to have a Dreambox 7000s but had to sell it as needed money to pay for my wedding day.
I miss being able to record TV onto a hdd for viewing later
I have a Sky sub with movies etc but no sport
I also have a Technomate 1500 ci+ which I am more than happy with
My Sky box is one of the early ones and is a bit knackered but still works okay if I can replace it with something else that'd be good.
I want to be able to watch all my channels that the Technomate has and Sky and be able to record anything I watch onto a hdd
Is the dreambox 500 the only cost efficient solution or is there something I don't know about that will let me get this done. I'm sure I can work out how to get the box to stream to my PC.
The only real reservation I have is the software on the 500 and the time it used to take for my 7000s to boot up.
Budget is £200 - £250
Thoughts please
