Solved. Right-click on the shortcut to the program, set window to maximized instead of Normal. Will open fully maximized. Cannot resize but doesn't matter. Cheers, works well.

problem for me - can't see all the buttons as there doesn't seem a resize window option. using windows 7, gtx 295, latest nvidia drivers. nothing particularly out of the ordinary. 1920x1200 resolution. cheers

Am back doing this again, seems a bit more stable than the last time I did this, plus I have higher upload so can run higher quality streams. Does anyone have a solution for automatically restarting the transcoding being done by VLC when you change channel? I've got the stream working well on my...

Very handy. Wihout being cheeky do you have a version without the channel number in front of each channel listing byb any chance? Or know of a quick way to remove them? I ask as my EPG doesn't show the whole channel name as the space is mostly taken up by the number - cosmetic I know but am...

DCC Telnet seemed a bit flaky to me, Putty works great tho. +1 for FileZilla.

Yeah, that's a good point. Dreamboxes have been around for a long time, and while they remain popular there will always be a good following and support structure for images and what not. Glad to hear images are stable, that's probably the thing that bugged me the most, was when a box crashed.

Interesting, I don't know much about alternative boxes. Last time I was around Triple Dragon's was the alternative. Am looking to start off with two boxes, or one box and a PCI card for my PC. Am looking at prices for the 500 HD in Holland, so far the best I found is 330 euros. Will check this...

Thanks for the response. The same worries about Sky existed when I was last using my dreamboxes, but I guess they'll be making more of an effort this time to put at end to it as card sharing has become more main stream. The DM500HD is looking very attractive. Can't believe the prices of the...

Hey, I've not had a Dreambox for something like 3 or more years. The last stuff I had was a few 7020s and I ran a linux server to host my card for them. None of the HD boxes were around when I was up to speed. Images were thick and fast, and there were at least half a dozen emulators! Sharing...

done. let me know what times you can do collection.

really sorry for my slow response, I thought I had turned on thread subscription, but obviously not as I've received nothing. This item is still available if anyone wants it.

Right, I have a 125m drum of this twin coax cable (white). It is untouched. I'm ideally looking for collection from London NW9 due to the weight. Looking for 60 quid, and I think I have some connectors I can throw in but don't rely on that! Cheers, yaz

Q1. That would work with a bridge on the connections under your PC. Q2. Hmmm, not sure, you will definitely be able to stream to the PC, whether directly to media centre I dont know. Never tried it. Q3. I did all my image updates over LAN, and it was alot over a couple of years. Never had an...

yeah, have used dreamboxes before for a similar solution, and while it worked most of the time, sometimes it wasn't perfect, with either network issues or freezing. tempted, but i think will go the normal sky box, at least to begin with. one other question, will sky hd boxes run fine off only...

Yes, phone line is indeed the sticking point! I would love to pay them extra for the multi-room package, but they just don't make it possible!! Thanks for your answers, they will get a little suspect with me calling up for re-pairs all the time! Have to look into perhaps HDMI over IP solution...
