So,
Just about to give up on a DM500-S or Relook 400S (hard to get) and buy a Technomate 1500CI+ for now.
What is going on with Dream? They announced a new DM500 with disk support back in August:
And I notice that they went to the new DM500S with the ALPS plug-in tuner late last year, but all the vendors now seem to be out of stock AND the price has gone from £129 in November to £149 and some stores are now showing £159/£169?!
Whats going on at Dream, anyone got any ideas?
Is this the new DM-500S model with disk support coming, hence the price hike? Or is it just Dream being cheeky as normal!
This page is interesting as it shows the insides of the "current" unit, and there is no disk header I can see.
Anyone got any info?... impatience means Technomate for me, but I want to live the Dream and have Linux and the ability to use VLC really!

Dream Multimedia News Bullitin said:"Newly made is also the DM 500 PVR. The smallest Linux-receiver in the world is now equipped with pluggable plug & play single tuner either for DVB-S, -C, and –T. On top of that the PVR-box is featured with a standard 2,5-inch hard disk and hence, becomes most probably the smallest Linux-based hard disk receiver worldwide."
