Does that mean four tuners then?

Built in Wi-Fi?

No HDMI?

[retainedstatue]

I think it means a "twin tuner", ie 2 tuners. Won`t have HDMI, DMM haven`t got a licence for it, will likely have the same DVI with custom dvi -> HDMI cable to carry sound.
Don`t know about wi-fi.

[fino]

whats the problem with no hdmi if the dvi lead is suplied and suports audio i can't see the difference.

[Killjoy]

HDMI will not license it's use on an Open Source receiver, hence the DVI socket.
Other Linux boxes that have HDMI are not Open Source ;-)

Like Killjoy said

The Ipbox/Cube revo does not have a GUI/main application/frontend open source. There´s open source and then there´s open source.

[morfsta]

Heh, I think they all know that dreambox is the main player for CS... Maybe a bit of bias there - open source or not.. ;-)

Who will be the first to take the plunge?

[Aldo]

Who will be the first to take the plunge?

As a Beta Tester, or purchaser.

[F31SAL]

i sold my 7020, and i was gonna go for the 800..

but when i heard this news of beta-testing, i thought i would wait a bit and see if the 8000 is released anytime soon.
soon as it hits the market am getting one!

[2tone]

i see there is two cvs images on the gemini site for it

[wwe]

wwe

[onecard]

Back of the DM8000, supposed release version.

[brain]

OK - all the hype - now who is selling it - can I buy it anywhere? Brain

[slime]

Has anybody sent dream an email asking/applying to be a beta tester then? Any news if so?

What is this going to retail for (any ideas?)? I wonder what their prefferential price is?

It's posted another thread that some applied and were accepted as Beta testers, but the 899 Euros price was not enough incentive.

[eme]

i would not buy one at that price, when u look at the problems yet again from dreambox when recivers do go on market, there is nothing but problems yet again. do they not know the meaning of r&d. soory will waite a year after it comes out to see if problems are sorted.
