    The question I have here is can this box do things similar to the dbox? (mainly to do with viewing encryped channels)

    Re: All HD Discussions in here

    i seen on ebay a german cable box, capable of delivering HDTV and SDTV with hdmi output, it also has the same orginal software, benenova, it think thats wat its called, as the Dboxes had before they were hacked and linux put on them. Just a dream at the mo, but do you think these will eventually end up being hacked and cracked.... would be brill if it could,,

    wat do you experts think??????

    Re: All HD Discussions in here

    so if you connect the dbox through a dvd player via scart to a lcd hd tv is it a better picture or is it better to connect it direct from dbox to the lcd hd tv
    as i have notice the picture between crt and lcd the crt is much clearer while the lcd hd tv has small shadowing and pixels on the screen

    sorry im just learning

    I blow my picture up very large and this is very far the best picture. Or get a scart 2 s-video conveter.

    Best leads if you can manage in your budget are QED buy a long way and i have tested a few even more expensive ones.

    Re: All HD Discussions in here

    I can confirm that it's do-able streaming the HD signal off the box, however even with extra RAM and 99 ringbuffers, the recording stalls.

    I might try this on my 10/100Mb/s dreambox and see what happens...

    Have you read any of this thread?

    No...the dbox cannot decode HD channels. You just get a blank screen.

    Amazingly, got a picture. A very, very broken juddering picture, but it was trying. The bottleneck is obvioulsy the network, the dbox only has a 10mb port, and from memory the telewest HD mpeg2 stream would be around 60-70mb, so surprising to get anything at all.
    What it does show, is that if the dbox could simply pass the stream through fast enough, it would be possible to watch a HD channel on a PC. So what are the chances of adding fast ethernet as well as IDE to the chipset?
    I'm sure I saw a german tutorial somewhere on how to swap the onboard network chip for a 10/100mb one. I can't recall if they had done it or where just theorising how it could be done. Would be very nasty to unsolder the old chip and painstakingly solder a new one. Would'nt it be easier to use the Dreambox 500c as this has a faster processor and network card.

    Re: All HD Discussions in here

    ok what about putting normal channels to hd

    i got a ps2 with a disc that outputs normal games to hd

    all it is is software to tell the ps2 to output at a higher resolution you think that could work on a dbox ?

    YOU CANNOT WATCH HD TROUGH A DBOX !

    YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO RECORD HD TO A HDD BUT THE DBOX CANNOT PLAY IT

    YOU CANNOT FIT A 100Mbit Network CHIP INTO THE DBOX

    THE DBOX DOES NOT PROVIDE HDMI OUTPUT

    NO YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE RESULUTION ON THE DBOX TO SUIT HD

    THE DBOX PROCESSOR HAS ONLY 66Mhz

    You need a DVB-C card to pick up the cable channels - a freeview card is DVB-T, won-t be able to get the channels from cable. If you have a DVB-C card you can run a CAM or a CAM emulator then you will be able to get encrypted channels

    Does anyone know what channel number the HD channel(s) are on for V**gin?

    If you plug your freeview box into a cable line you will get all the freeview channels.

    what box is HD compatible to recieve the available n*l channels in HD? BBC HD & now 2 movie chans.
