Has anyone connected a "DVD HDD Recorder" to a DM500c, just wondered if this would work especially with pausing live TV and recording 1 hour ahead?

While this might work, isn't it better to allow to DM500c to record onto the harddisc of a PC or network storage device? This would give you better picture quality and would be a lot cheaper, too.

BTW, note that the new DM600 PVR has the same size as the 500 and allows you to mount an internal harddisc for recording and timeshifting.

would be a good idea to stream, if the 500 didn't have the network- bug:

Streaming is not possible / very poor quality due to a bug in the network- drivers of the 500.

As long as Dream does not fix this bug (nobody knows, whether they ever will, because the new 600 does not have it due to another network- chip), streaming is not an alternative.

Hi,

I've been streaming and recording for sometime now using ggrab/ngrab and my year old DM500s with no problems. Even programs with higher bitrates. No artifacts, no abusive audio just plesent watching.

I hear there is a patched ggrab that will record all audio tracks. This all results in a vob file, which can easily be watched using several different wind*w* programs.

I didn’t particular want to go through my network for recording, that’s why I was looking at a DVD/HDD recorder, why can’t you record with the scart-out on the dreambox?

On the scart you can only record analog. This means, the picture-quality is not as good as in digital and you won't be able to have Dolby-Digital sound.

I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to record on a HDD-Recorder.

AS far as I know, scart is always analog only.
