A Box with HDTV??

[prash_2k]

I was just wondering if theres any box avaliable (like the dbox) that you can use with NT* or the new V-M*dia. that does everything that the Dbox can but also supplies HDTV?

is this even possible?

i've researched alot but have found nothing.....so far

cheers

Waiting on the Dreambox 8000 and Reel Multi Media in Germany have a prototype (ReelBox) but difficult to get hold of at present in the UK.

excellent, any idea how much it will cost?? and if it needs nething extra? or is it just plug and play like the dbox?

 

[Dazmeister]

I believe plug n play (but someone else might know), the Reel boxes come as a fully loaded version or you can buy the case and build to your own spec.
As for the images, I believe we might have some news on that soon (for the ReelBOx)

Have a read of this...

a HD box isnt much use over here quite "yet" there isnt much HD channels. So many people got swindled with HD because of the digital switchover they going out to buy HDTV's thinking there digital. When some arnt

As already mentioned above there's really no point in buying a HDTV cable box in the UK yet. There's very little content and any that is broadcast is on "experimental" channels that could easily end up having things changed that may make them incompatible with anything you have already bought.

Also, unless you have bags of spare cash lying around, I think you may find something like the Dream8000 to be a tad expensive for something that may only last a limited time. You cant expect the cable hack to last forever !
