When you first turn comes logically nor the software of Dream, I've also left it to learn about the first box, with this software you get a receiver that already house has but a lot of good and thoughtful ways. The manual comes with paper, so that when you start time to play around with the part, also has sensible accompanying literature. It also describes how to connect the Dreambox with your computer, even to a telnet connection has been thought, which is not bad if you want in the deepest areas of the file system. By the time one flirts with other operating systems, it is helpful to get an explanation on how to get the software on the box.
The first impression is very good, the box is very stable with the original software and the Empfnagsqualität is so much better than the Vantage, so I am reassured because I was afraid of having to play here a bit to beta testers, after all, have I did one of the first boxes that were shipped get. Any concerns were quickly dispelled and I could deal with the features that really liked. The important thing here was that the hardware is stable and you can also run over weeks alone, without her hangs and you are allowed to write his scheduled recordings in the wind. Who wants to be quite sure yet tinkering a switched outlet, which allows him to restten the box if necessary (turn by briefly off and on again), then he can be totally sure that everything is perfect. I'm here on the original software no longer a, all functions are ok, you can very well live with it.
That alone would be no reason to pay so much money for the Dreambox, so then it depends a different software, which then provides the following example:
- Use of pay-TV with the built-in CAM's and corresponding softcams
- Own skins and many skins finished (user interfaces) available
- Lets Very good Web interface with which to comfortably control the box from your PC and manage
- Means app also easily programmed and operated from a mobile phone
- Many applications on a variety of things (Webcams, Youtube and many more.)
- Thousands of tools to operate the box as you need it
- Here ..... I could go on writing for hours ....
The NewNigma was quickly installed (comes conveniently via a network cable and a PC) and set up, and this is very stable, then you really do not need a more PC because by means of the Internet (LAN or WLAN) you can the rest directly from the menu Download out and install, using the various forums you are quickly able to master the material, and then the joy is in the pits really begins. Customers Kart from cable operators ran after installing the softcams perfectly without further intervention or even an additional CAM, thus you can then bring the Crippleware that mitliefern cable operators, safely in the basement, which from then definitely you need no longer, thanks to the two integrated CAMs and the two CI slots for 2 more CAMs you are placed here very flexible, which is rather in satellite range, however, necessary in cable can be more than satisfied with the existing hardware here.
Why I give here with so much enthusiasm not 5 stars?
They're for the shadow that must be almost in a lot of light also, it can of course decide for themselves whether or not the points that I enumerate here, for him is a killer criterion.
- The original remote control is not particularly durable, here it was replaced by a Logitech Harmony
- The box is sometimes very warm when it operates at the stop (record 2 programs, see 1)
- In the Deep-Standby not reachable from the outside (hence on vacation only to normal standby)
- Only 2 Tuner slots
- Without remote control only very limited use
My Conclusion:
Meanwhile the Newnigma2 is very stable and thus here the operating system that I recommend all round. This device is intended for people who want to not only television, but to want to deal with the matter and all possibilities offered in detail, here you get everything that is necessary for it. Basically the Dreambox is a computer with built-in TV tuners, who consider this, here long have his pleasure.
If this part ever break down, something like that, it is again clear tendency naturally to Dreambox!
