    A few dreambox issues

    Ok struggling to get autotimer to create events in the timer when it finds the events ok. My dm500hd is running black hole and the epg is great but is there anything I can use instead of autotimer. Also I've heard a lot about Barry Allen. What is it

    Muppet requires installation assistance

    No my issue is that although I can pick up hotbird I can't unlock it with the box I have. I get excellent reception on hotbird eurobird and astra but my box doesn't do card sharing.

    Muppet requires installation assistance

    Ok so my take on this is that seeing as I can pick up hotbird and astra sufficiently from where I am I have put the box back on eBay. What's the best HD box to go for. I had looked at a dm800 but I understand they overheat.

    Have I F**********D up?

    Having been very interested in HD freesat viewing I purchased a Darkbox HD from eBay the other day. It arrived today and having been trying for 3 hours to set it up correctly I think I may have finally achieved something. I had no idea it didn't do cardsharing so I know I've messed that one -...

    Some HD Linux based receiver recommendations please

    Ok, I was intending cheaper than the £188 I've seen for a DM800 - however in the meantime I've picked up what I believe to be a Darkbox GDS for a lot less money off eBay. Is there a specific section on the forum for these or anyone got any suggestions.

    Some HD Linux based receiver recommendations please

    Having received a lesson in HD from my mother in law of all people, my original plan of a dm500 has been superceded some. So I would like a cheap HD (component, dvi or hdmi) Linux based receiver that I could connect an existing USB or Sata drive to. I like the idea of the dm500hd without the cost.

    Help help I'm all confused

    Ok so could the same be achieved by writing to a custom card. Any ideas how this can be done and what hardware would be required.
