RE: Dreambox

A better tuner could be something really good. I have no definitive proof,
but my feeling is that the Dreambox tuner is a little weak - my other sat
receiver (a cheapo Pace) give me a more robust feeling when it comes to
tuning stations and receiving weaker signals..

2 tuners would be great as well, nice to be able to record something as you
watches. Hopefully both tuners are useable, not as the Topfield receivers
where one tuner is for recording and one is for viewing. I would like to be
able to watch different channels in different rooms.

I don't see a need for DVD-burner, nor the larger hard drive capabilities,
I
don't want to have a hard disk in the unit at all, I want to record to my
fileserver directly.

There's some new models due out soon too.

The DM 7020-S with larger internal memory and a new power supply by
Panasonic that can handle the requirements of larger hard drives. Also,
there's some speculation about a differnt (and better?) tuner being fitted.

The DM 7080-S same as the 7020 but with a DVD burner built in.

And the DM 7085-S same as the 7080 but with 2 tuners.

No release dates yet, but they were anounced at the ANGA Cable show
recently. Here's a piccy of the 7085:-

Personally, I think I'll hang on and wait for the 7020.
