Hi, Will a Dreambox 500 work for saorview? According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreambox#DM_500.2C_DM_500.2B.2C_DM500HD "Also has the ability to be used on Digital satellite, cable and terrestrial broadcasts (also known as DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T)." Saorview is MPEG-4 DVB-T so it looks compatible. Any ideas? Thanks.

It depends on the tuner installed in the unit. If it is a DVB-S as in satellite it won't work but if it is a DVB-T as in Terrestrial it will. The DVB(tuner) can usually only do one. It also requires MPEG-4 support which the 500HD does but the 500 doesn't.
