    I installed the extension; it only adds a boolean-variable blocking to the existing parental control. It does not satisfy the need to...HIDE service. That's the key word. DM500 had it.
    Thankyou for your contribution, I will use it until a more suitable solution exists.


    PS: is there a place/way to request a ticket which may be fulfilled (eventually) ? Isn't that the way open source works..

    I still haven't heard from Dreambox Multimedia after emailing them. Truly disappointing I cannot place Dreambox HD 800 in family living room.

    IMHO I doubt that any existing DM boxes will get DD+ update unless specified in the sales specifications. Or if DM has a history of adding such functionality in the past then I am wrong. Already DM shows no commitment to fixing existing issues like this and many more unanswered discussions throughout this forum.


    DD+ as a feature is clearly a selling point for new AV receivers, film discs and TVs. I am pretty sure you and I will have to wait and invest in the future DM boxes to arrive. I must say asking for such an "update" is very naive of you, despite being in the same boat as you.


    PS: DD+ capability depends on the HDMI version of the DM800, which I'm unsure of. However I got some data regarding such capability:

    Zitat

    V1.0 - two-channel PCM audio up to 48kHz/24-bit including standard Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 bitstreams.
    V1.1 - up to 8-channel PCM audio up to 192kHz/24-bit.
    V1.2 - as V1.1, plus DSD audio (for SACD) at 1.824Gb/s.
    V1.3 - (proposed) as above, plus Dolby Digital+ and DTS-HD enhanced audio.

    I have emailed Dreambox Multimedia because I just can't use this kind of satellite receiver in my Living room!! Let's see what the Engineers and Product deisgners have to say about their flagship product.

    Dear "Whoever is responsible for this"


    Please remember: If you don't think you can do anything about what I'm going to complain to you about, then please forward this to your most immediate superior employee at Dreambox Multimedia.


    I want to complain about the lack of "Hide locked service" in my DM-800. This was there in the DM-500. A more expensive and higher-end model, how can u call it a PROGRESS? I am not some programmer - I'm just a regular person who has a TV at home.


    There is a forum thread of 2 years requesting this feature. I thought you guys were working on it. Why does Dreambox assume that the higher end Enigma2 Dreambox owners don't have have children or family? Technically you do have a Parental lock - more like Don't Touch lock. It's possible to lock channels while blatantly displaying the purely Mature rated channel and programme names. Does Dreambox have a sensible explanation for this other than "open source will take care of itself according to it's needs"?


    When I upgraded from the DM-500 to a model called DM-800 I have some minimum expectations in mind and this is lack of "Hide Locked Services" option is just unacceptable. Your silent and laid-back attitude to us customers in this situation is disrespectful. When are are you going to implement such an elementary feature like this?


    Please forward this to your superior if your answer is NO.

    +1 I totaly agree that this is much needed and essential feature, long overdue.
