Some hope on the horizon. first official thing on their site, can we conclude from the picture there will be 2 versions of HD receiver?

Actually you are wrong in my opinion.

I am watching HDTV channels using CS.
The picture quality is simply amazing ( even SD compared to dreambox )
I have timeshift and record feature of encrypted channels to multiple USB HDD's working.
The latest unofficial image is very stable.
The motor issue is sure to be reolved soon.

All in all a fantastic bit of kit.

Well just like what drjihans reviews of this box the upscalling from sd too 1080i
i crappy blurring and it looks much better on my dreambox with component or even scart connector it only looks good on hd channels
so i aint sharper if you ask me

I got bored of waiting for a reasonable HD capable box (my Humax HDCI-2000 is crap) so have built my own linux-based HD PVR. Here's the specs: -

Athlon 64 2350 overclocked to 2.7Ghz
4Gb RAM
1Tb Disk
DVB-T (3 tuners) / DVB-S / DVB-S2 (2 tuners)
diseqc 1.2 / USALS

720p/1080i
Dolby Digital / DTS Out
1 x CA Slot
Ubuntu 7.10

Watching BBC HD now in perfect 1080i!

You could probably build the same for the cost of a DM8000.

Cheers,
