I'm wondering that is these boxes able to do card linking? I mean I have to tell mine cable operator mine receivers "chip id" or "box-id" so they then match it with mine card ID in order me to see specific channels.

Well, I do think they will have modified to be "this day hardware", and that takes tiem ofcourse, but how long will it take? I mean ofcourse we would all like to see DM8000, but they should just say so if it won't come soon, and/or ever...

I'm interested about Dreambox DM8000 when it will be released... Main question I have is that can one watch DVD-movies with the (optional?) embedded DVD-drive and record TV-channel(s) same time? And how is PiP?

Thank you for any information you can provide
