[QUOTE="HB13DISH, post: 478906, member: 262829"] Hello langstone, There is a thread about Keyboards for Dreambox and also in the Idiot's guide. The best way to use the tuxmail and the Links web browser would be to buy a Dreambox Keyboard, but it is so expensive and I settled to using an A4 Tech keyboard w/o the keypad so it is as small as the DB kbrd, but has the slight inconvenience of the USB lead and yes you do need to use both the remote and the keyboard to input text and other functions. I intend to test a wireless keyboard (RF NOT IR) when I have a bit of cash to spend. The problem is with the distance range since I need to use the kybrd from 3m and the RF ones are specified at 1.5m. Google does not work well with the browser and it will hang the box. You can make a list of your favourite websites and then upload it with FTP. This will save you typing the URLs. Just make sure that each site works well and doesn't hang the box. I am not sure about the ? problem. I will check it tonight. Maybe it depends on the keyboard model. Mouse doesn't work. I can expect the plugins to be updated, but I doubt if there will be any major breakthoroughs since the Links is basically a text browser and it had some major face uplifts so that you can see the pictures as well. Enjoy surfing. [/QUOTE]
