Update....
I now have an AzBox MiniMe up 'n running - currently using openATV. Still pottering but pleased with progress. Any others using similar kit?
I had no luck there either. Next step was the Canadian distributors but they won't post outside US/Can. So I ended up in the satelliteguys.us forum and found a member who sold me one. It's in transit at the moment...fingers crossed!

I checked the conections at the...
I have the same receiver and have decided to wait for the next Db release. I'd just feel sick if I bought a 7000 now and the 7020 was to appear a month later!
