[QUOTE="T_G, post: 117655, member: 175083"] Oh dear, now you got me. I am afraid I only have a 5620, but the main difference between the 7000 and the smaller box is that the 7000 has a hard drive. That allows you to record and play movies much easier. also, If I am not wrong you can have the choice of loading up several images on a USB stick and have multiboot functions. Now, I would still go for the 5620 because of these reasons: 1) Since a few months we found a perfectly good setup using the 5620 box, a Gemini Image and a PC to record and playback movies from the PC to Dreambox. So the hard drive issue is not that important. 2) Price, 5620 much cheaper 3) Multiboot: Also possible on 5620 using the PC. I for one never used the multiboot, there were always images that could do most of the stuff I wanted in one. I suppose if I really needed multiboot I would have used the PC option, or even backupped with the help of flashwizard pro all the images I needed. It only takes a couple of minutes ro reload a flashwizard image. 4) Other than that, most of the other stuff is fairly similar, loading up images and backing up settings lists etc is fairly the same. BUT: Please wait for answers from some of the people here who have the even newer 7020 and 500 boxes, maybe there are some points I don't know about. Hope this helps a bit to decide... [/QUOTE]
