It's sort of a dm500 with PVR and priced as such, you can install a hard drive and record whatever you want and even install some DM images. I guess you can have multiboot as well, but i still haven't tried much on it.
As for the rest i have it up and running perfectly, thanks to my mate polo_, my real problem was with my shitty modem/router.
It does what you expect a linux box can do.
On the plus side
- very fast zapping
- ability to install plugins\games\skins over the internet
- some DM images will work on this model along with all the included bonuses
- it's not as cheap made as some dm models
- looks and feels very solid
- ability to stream tv to your desktop
- remote control can control almost any tv
- CS and other similar stuff works like a charm
On the minus side
- remote control PVR buttons are a bit too small
- not that much support from the community, compared to the dm receivers
- disecq feature is not standard, not that i had any issues with it works great with my vbox
- not a dreambox (this one goes to the fan boys every where)
Most of the dm utilities will work with this receiver. All in all it's much like a regular dreambox, but better looking IMO. Would be perfect if it had a high def tunner.
