It seems as if the new DM500-HD has deep-standby, as standby power is only 1W 
Is that correct, ie. can the DM500-HD wake up from deep standby to do a timer recording? Or am I over-interpreting the specs...
If so, this is a major advantage over DM800-HD that I currently use (burning perhaps 20W constantly). Hope a cable version will show up!
(feel free to reply in german!)
No, there is no deep-standby. As I know, it's just a new standby-method (thank god for the new hardware). 
can the DM500-HD wake up from deep standby to do a timer recording?
No it can`t!
In Deep Standby you can only switch it on with the remote.
On the dm7000, a timer could wake up teh box from a deep standby (turned off but with power cable plugged).
Why can't the dm800 do it ? Is this just because E2 does not support it yet ? Will it be ever possible with new developped software or firmware ?
Pretty annoying indeed.

There is no front-processor in the small boxes
It is a hardware problem; not a software problem.
The 7025 and the 8000 have this feature.

This was explained several times already.
The DM800 as well as the DM500HD lack of a front processor (a piece of hardware
which has the ability to measure time (aka. a clock), can "simulate" a press of the
power button and is never disconnected from power).
So it will NEVER work without a hardware addition.

Deshalb frage ich mich schon eine ganze Weile, wozu "Frontprozessor Upgrade" auf der dm800 gut ist ?
Vielleicht kann das jemand erklären ?
