    Hi to all!


    I havent been into satellite for a couple of years now since keeping a dish on my house was forbidden.

    However, my mother in Spain still uses her dreambox 800 which broke down unfortunately.


    I want to buy a new box for her but havent follow the scene for over 5 years now and need some information and advise.


    My demands are a dreambox with display, running on PLI image and recording .

    If possible IPTV as well.

    We are watching the Dutch channels on 23,5 and the German channels on Astra 19,2 with a dish with double head (A and B)


    My choice is the dreambox 2 Ultra because my mother knows how the interface works.

    My questions are:


    1) Is the dreambox 2 a good choice if we want to run a PLI image?

    2) Do i need an SD card to run/install the PLI image or can i run in in the flash? ( i don’t need multiboot)

    3) How to install it on the SD card if so?

    4) For recording, what kind of USB you recommend? Just usb 3? If i am right, I can’t build in a harddisk anymore?

    5) Wil the box run stable with PLI? (Like it was on the dreambox 500/800?

    6) What are the IPTV options? Do i need to put the channels in a list between the sat channels or is there an app where i add my mr3u line and subscription, password etc?

    7) What softcam do i need to use to run the Dutch Canal Digitaal subscription smartcard?

    8) Can i still download the apps, picons, setting list (Hans) within the PLI image?


    Thank u in advance,


    Patrick
