The Enthusiast receiver for all others to beat
- September 2005 Update, the latest software makes this receiver what we always knew it could be – it’s still a receiver for the computer savvy but the rewards of owning this machine and sharing experiences with other users leave us speechless, this is the receiver that Uli Herrman “Dr. Overflow” of the Dbox fame has moved to supporting – some support sites are here
- November 2005 Update, Great even more Plug-ins - Music Player, Video player, Picture Browser, Sharing, Emulation, Games, Wireless network, While Dreambox is getting more expensive and less reliable TD remains the box to have better support now and more reliable
