Having libcryto compiled and installed normally isn't sufficient. You'll have to have the correct version installed and compiled. The dreambox executable would be compiled against a specific version of libcrypto, if your powerpc linux distribution uses a different version, then you're going to...

No. It doesn't work like that. The Dreambox is based on linux? Well, then the executable format will mostly likely be ELF. Mac OS X uses MACH-O as its executable format. Even if the executable formats were the same, copying an executable from one platform to another would result in almost...

Sorry, it's a Samsung LE32R41.

Erm... I wouldn't have bought this receiver. It doesn't support USALs which means I can't sell my Technomate. The problem with the Kathrein is that whilst the hardware is pretty good, it's let down by poor software. If I were to buy and HD receiver right now I think I'd go for a Technomate...

I'd say that the Technomate has the slight edge in SD picture quality, but since I started using the component output on the Kathrein it's very similar. HDMI looks washed out on my TV, not quite sure why. Technomate channel changing is lightning fast compared to the Kathrein.

I was given one if these as a gift. Pros: HDMI. Great HD picture quality. Good SD picture quality. Software can be patched. FTP server. Telnet. PVR using an external USB HD. Cons: Diseqc 1.0 only. Channel changing is slow. Remote control doesn't respond as well as it should. Support isn't...

So is this just an artificial software block added to official Freesat boxes? I take it non-freesat boxes are unaffected by this?

I have a Technomate 1000ci. I'm pretty sure that the software is very similar to that used on other Technomate models. Overall I'm pretty pleased with the box. Channel changing is quick. The software is ok, probably could have been a bit easier to use. My wife can use the freeview box...

Does Norton still update definitions on a weekly basis? Or have they improved?

I no longer use nod32 (switched to the Mac a while ago), but on page 13 of the user guide it mentions this: "The options for this functionality are available through Advanced setup > Antivirus and antispyware protection > Email protection. The program can Append tag messages to received and...

There's a setting that gets rid of those messages. I've used both Kasperksy and Nod32 in the past. Both are pretty good products. Kaspersky is a a bit more user friendly though. Both regularly update their virus definitions. I prefer Nod32 because it runs in the background and leaves me...
