[QUOTE="normsky, post: 622354, member: 197396"] Hi All, I've been the happy owner of the HDCI-2000 for a few faultless years now. Using the Dragon cam with predator files has been great. Along with that and the ability to load a full channel list via the formula software I cannot fault the unit. It has served me well .... up until about 2 hours ago. It seems to be dead. Doesn't respond to power cycling or anything else for that matter. Anyways I won't be going down the route of trying to contact Humax (pointless really) so I've decided to just treat myself to a new system. Clearly there are many new systems on the market at the moment and it would be nice to implement the dragon cam again. I get the feeling, however, that the Predator files won't be available much longer and encryption seems to becoming ever more sophisticated and the dragon cam will become defunct sooner than later. Come to think of it I don't really get much out of the Predator upgrades at the moment so I don't know why I bother. Would this be a correct assumption? With this in mind I'm not really sure which route I should be going down. I would like HD for sure. I would also like it to be able to record - rude not to really. I am not a $ky subscriber and never intend to be ever again so it would be nice to have a system which I can play around with in the way that I did with the Dragon cam. I'm not a sports fan but the ability to pull in a few film channels would be nice. In essence I am more interested to know what type of system I should be looking for rather than what brand. When I bought my Humax the only real other option back then was a dreambox which seemed to be a ball ache to update. Early days yet and I may even be able to sort my Humax box but I thought I might do a little research first. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh I have a DiSeq 1.2 motor so would like to keep that and the dish. Come to think of it - I hope it's not the motor thats blown my Hummy. Cheers, Normsky [/QUOTE]
