[QUOTE="Anonymous-A, post: 596324"] OK - a big attraction of the Dreambox for me was its fairly easy Web Interface. This allowed me to stream TV of my choice to a client PC on my wireless LAN - which when I consider the main TV gets used mostly for the kids choice of nonsense is a dealbreaker. Would I be able to stream TV from my HTPC on the LAN? Luckily there is a Web Interface available from the members section of the DVBViewer site.
