Hi All,

I'm currently operating a DM500 C in one room and a Nokia D-Box 2 in the other. I realise neither of these will be able to receive HD when it arrives this year. However, do any of the other Dreambox variants have HD capability.

Thanks in anticipation.

yes the new dm 8000 will have and does have hd But if you're buying it just for HD, I would maybe consider buying a video processor or upscaler! There isn't a lot of HD channels at the moment (hopefully that will change) and it doesn't really warrant paying all that for such few HD channels its priced at 800 euros

There are a lot of satellite receivers coming out with HD at the minute. The cheapest is HD one is only ?200 so I guess as soon as they start making these with cable tuners they will be a lot more affordable.

The dm8000 is more than just a receiver it incorporates a hard drive a DVD recorder and is top spec so it's very expensive to say just a tuner box like a dbox or dm500.
