    Miss my dbox!

    Nearly six months without a dbox - and I have to say having spent ?75 on it in October/November 2005 starting out with Pacino Image - I miss it, granted I only used it purley for watching cable not streaming or anything else!

    For ease of use and maintenance for me it was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Onlymention this as the wife asked me earlier today "cant you get the dbox to work again?" Hidden Content

    Yes it was a great machine, for little money, which brought a wealth of entertainment to masses of people in this depressed and depressing time.
    Especially for people who for one reason or another just can't afford Sly or Vermin subscriptions.

    Sadly I miss it, as well as my chariot, for its simple reliability! Hidden Content Hidden Content

    Re: Miss my dbox!

    I was just wondering if, since the sad demise of the beloved dbox, anyone has a recomendation as to a replacement ?

    I am just looking for a pointer, I mean, is there anything currently available that can achieve similar goals as the dbox ?

    I loved playing with the box, streaming/recording/etc, I used to use for streaming my audio and video files to my tv equipement, and tho I could always continue to do so if I dug the old box out of the loft, I was just wondering if there was another piece of equip that would take its place removing the vermin box from the stack ?

    nao,s right, get yourself a sat box and a motorized dish and your channels will have doubled from what you got from your d-box, i waited far too long to get mine but now i wouldn't go back to cable even if i had the chance Hidden Content

    Re: Miss my dbox!

    Im running a kryptview box on the cable side and an Openbox HD S9 on the Sat side at the moment (Hidden Content )

    The Openbox is my first step onto the Sat side of things and after a difficult start trying to work out what to do with it - im pretty happy with it now! Hidden Content

    Will wait until Im more experienced on the sat side before "branching out" onto motorised side of things.
