    Looks good. What about an antenna for it?

    An antenna came with it. I did not use it as i am abou 55 miles from Cairn Hill, an indoor small antenna would be no good to me. I have it hooked up to my roof aerial. The usb stick has a socket for roof aerial.

    my setup:-

    dm800hd - in the living room running Dream Elite 1.3, 90cm triax dish picking up astra1, 2 and hotbird via Disceq switch. Nova-T DVB-T USB connected into attic aerial to pick up DTT - works brilliantly. Getting the full 16 DTT tv & radio channels. Nice plugins that I have recently discovered is "permanent timeshift" - makes the timeshift much more sky+ like. And Virtual Zap, can hold the "ok" button down and get a "Now and Next" for any channel without actually changing channels or bringing up the EPG etc.

    dm500 - in bedroom running dream elite, connected to sky dish with quad lnb

    slingbox connected to dm800 and popcorn hour so I can watch them from every computer in the house as well as travelling :pac:

    Very happy with the setup, only thing I would add in the future if it gets supported is a USB-S2 tuner - that way we would get the benefits of the DM8000 without the price tag!

    I now have added a RF modulator to the DM800HD as the scart and HDMI can be used a the same time. It sends the signal up to the splitter box in the attic. I now can get rid of those horrid TV senders.

    I had a look in my EPG panel and the only satmate that is available is satmate_sky.IT. Surely this is for an Italian setup or am I missing something? :confused:

    Go into the epg panel and edit the epg.dat url to http://hqsatellite.com/satmate/skyuk_epg.dat.gz
