I live in Malta too & would like to know of this supposed link. Tried to send a private message to "Ladybug" but she has chosen not to receive private messages. If anyone in the know can help I would appreciate receiving a p.m. to this effect. Thanks in advance & regards.

It won't last long, I'm sure but as long as it's there, we can enjoy!

Well I am from Malta: Pace 2600 1.8m fiberglass 0.5dB lnb. Yesterday was 1st May (the date when reception was supposed to have been restricted). Everything the same as before: good reception of Astra 2A, B (North & South Beams) and Eurobird 1 and nothing at all on 2D. From the beginning I...

I am in pretty much the same situation. I have a Humax 5400Z IRCI. Good box and am pretty satisfied but the constant changing of codes got on my nerves and am seriously thinking of upgrading to a Dreambox. But: as time goes by more channels are being braodcast HD/MPEG 4. Dreamboxes 500, 7020...

I am interested in buying a HD receiver but am not that technical. The Dreambox 8000 is of interest to me, although it has yet to be released (sometime next May, I understand). My question is this: Is an HD receiver capable of receiving SD (standard digital channels MPEG 2). In other words is...

Does a High Definition (HD) MPEG 4 version of Dreambox (500 or 7020 or 600) exist and if yes at what price? If not, is there one planned and what is the expected time of market launch?
