That's certainly opening the floodgates!

However I currently have (working)...

Humax Foxsat HDR
Philips HDT8520 (Freeview HD)
Several other Freeview STBs around the house
5 working Dodgyboxes

and then...

At least another half dozen Dodgeyboxes either not working or simply not in use
A Nokia Mediamaster 9800S somewhere
And some analogue boxes on their way to be recycled (hmmm, reminds me I must update my profile!).

Hi Zorbua ...
paid a similar amount for my first nokia 9600 as your 9200 ...
I remember re-wiring a house for my brother in law ....and using the entire proceeds ..around £600 ...to buy it ..
It was for a very long time ..my pride and joy ..
..and I remember well 99% or platforms being ...ahem!..._open_ at that time..
;)

Glasgow,ish!
Technomate 6800HD+ (The "+" model has the solo USB port on the back), Spiderbox 7000HD, $ky Dogibox HD(DRX890), Comag Silvercrest branded SL65. I have owned but since passed on the Fortec Star Passion & Passion+, if I aint using anything for any length of time then I feal it's better given or sold to someone who will make use of it. I use a 80cm perforated ISS dish to feed everything.

Nokia 9600 with DVB2000 software is the best receiver I've ever used, in my opinion.

Can probably pick it up for peanuts, stick in a Diablo Wi-Fi CAM, and you're sorted (except for MPEG4/HD channels, of course).

Agreed ...
Still use mine regularly ..
There are 2 tuner versions however ..
The first had built in hardware blindscan ..and was higher gain..
The later version was lacking both ..
I have 1 of each version ..
..and I'll _never_ part with 'em..

I believe mine was with the hardware blind scan tuner. Did they both have that SCSI port on the back? Great for streaming to your hard disk. I think you can install Enigma/Neutrino type software on these now.

Hi Captain ...
If you know of such a software ...I wouldn't mind flashing one of my 9600's to enigma ..
I have the facility to do this ..as I still have my homebrew BDM unit ..and somewhere in the archives ..a copy of transbox..
