[QUOTE="BonceChops, post: 60559, member: 179529"] A very good point is : No more money to spend on cams and cards and programmers every few months when encryptions change. No more messing about to update keys - just a few buttons to press on the remote if the Dreambox is connected to the internet that is. The only bad points I can add are : Poor PSU ( current output wise not reliability, I have installed an extra small PSU - less than £10 on ebay from Germany) Does not like all hard drives ( mainly due to lack of current from PSU ) Gets hot ( very ) when hard drive installed. ( I have fitted a small fan, a little noisey but box cool now. Next mod is to fit a 9 volt regulator to run the fan slower, used to work well in my Pace MSI500 ) And a small point - no RF modulator so you cant watch TV upstairs without passing the scart to the video. ( RF mod from old VCR waiting to be fitted ) As far as I know all these bad points will be resolved in the new Dreambox 7020 - when it is released. [/QUOTE]
