Just bought a 7025, high expectations but last 24hr's have been dramatic.
The initial image jan 26 2006 was extremely instable and the received locked up after 3 channel switches; many channels show hickups, mostly in image and often in sound (ever other second upto 5 seconds per hickup!).
I'm using my old Aston Crypt and Canal Digitaal card for the dutch channels.
Viewing BVN (which is unencrypted) is dramatic.
Hickup-normal-Hickup.... so sad that even free-to-air channels cannot be viewed with this box.
I uploaded the july 11 image now and it is lightly better, the hickups are continues but the box freezes-up a bit less.
However when I switch to Net5 or SBS6 the box stops receiving all-together! And there is no way to get it back to receiving any channels until a deeps-shutdown and restart - watching some public German channel like ARD.
I have to limit myself to watching dutch 1,2,3 rtl 4,5,7, animal planet, ngc and discovery; those all do fairly well.
Watching BVN you also see an abnormal amount of mpeg artifacts in the image - a general poor & hicked-up image (like what you get when over compressing a JPG image).
On stability and image quality this box cannot touch my good old (boring echostar receiver which output image seems much more stable and less distorted.
However I got my advise to buy a dreambox from users that have been happy with it for a couple of years now (7000 and 7020 owners) - I hope 7025 users (like me) can be added to this list of happy users in the future when some of these critical bugs are fixed...
Watching this space for solutions, wondering if I should return the reiver quickly while I still can...
regards,
Leon
