    Never knew could connect Dbox to computer for that, can you point me in right direction for more info. Have you streamed from internet through Dbox?

    Re: what to do with my dbox now

    I have my Dbox2 connected to a P200 laptop, it's got 150gb on it and it's on constantly (it doesn't use much lecky as a normal PC you see). I use it for...

    Dbox2 Recording and playback TV programmes.
    Used my main PC to convert downloaded movies into .ts format, stored the .ts on my laptop for playback on TV via Dbox2.
    Playback of MP3 files using the Dbox2 Media Player.
    Playback of karaoke video's using the Dbox2 Media Player.
