No me I'm not on austech but musicman is, I told him about the special and he will be buying one for me.<br />Good price. Not all of us have the time to visit all the satellite forums, this one will do.

Just got myself a dm500....they're sooooo small. Looks like a matchbox next the reelbox haha.

Yes the Reelbox is one hell of a physical size box how have you been going with your one.?

yeah i am thinking of getting a reelbox but i am afraid spending so much money and u kno...stuffin it maybe <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/default/frown.gif" />

Do some searching first before buying one, i thibk one of the members in this forum has one if he wants he can reply to this

advice....dont, not until Reelbox (Germany)pulls their head out of their arse. The software is fairly dormant and in it's infant stage atm. Stick with the dreamboxes for now, they have the support and features. When the 7025 comes out it will be the same features as the reelbox and roughly the same price.<br /><br />Ash

So what you are saying is that the New Dreambox 7025 will match the Reelbox, get more support, and cheaper to buy.

yeah bar the dvd player. Look at the specs they are the same. twin tuner, 128mb ram, usb. But again like everything, wait until software becomes available. <br /><br />I dont think you can go past the dreams for support for us in Oz. Atm the reels are mainly developed for europe....this may change with time who knows.<br /><br />But also the reelbox hasnt ben officially released, so I guess everything I say could be bullshit.

well i am kinda looking to get everything in one dvd player and burner..i have so many tapes and i mainly want to record video clips, hence burn them..now reelbox sounds good but I guess it worth wating for dreambox to see wat dvd burner they ll get in their new system!

The 7025 sounds interesting.<br />What about the 7025 for Images will you be able to use the current images with miniroot?

no one knows, I'm guessing they will use the same format as 7020 ie .nfi or they could use enigma2. Who knows

Interesting!! When will the 7025 be available in OZ?.

no idea mate.Posts by Mr.B state next month, But when have they been on time.

Never!!

I have already started to save $$$ for one and personally I think you won't see them until early 2006

I'm gonna wait....see how they go

I have one 7000 and a 500 and iam very happy with them can you please tell me whats the big exciting changes for the 7025 model.

I think you find Dream Media will have all the info on them.<br />http://www.dream-multimedia.com.au/

As soon as they come out I will be buying one.

this one does not specify dvd burning software!? or am I blind...

thats correct...dm7025 does not have a dvd built in.

As I said the software is in a fairly infant stage. In the end it's your money, your choice.<br /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />
