I am not really a newbie, I am new to this site.I have been doing this for awhile and I have my SV8K running Dik 110, 119, 129, Bev 91, 82 I have 110,119 on a dish 500-DP plus, 129 on dish 300 running to the DP-Plus - one cable running from the DP Plus to an Ecoda 22khz. and 91, 82 on a dish 500 DP-Twin, one cable to the other side of Ecoda the ecoda hooked to a Dish Pro power inserter from a DP-44 switch. This set up works so well it has gotten boring so I am buying a Dreambox to see what I can do w/ one of these. I was wondering if the Dreambox will support my setup.I have not brought one yet,as I wanted to research first.Does the DB have programs for autoroll or do you run plastic in them,I was looking at the Nfusion but it only has a 120 Mhz. processor and only been around for a year.I think a Dreambox has alot more to offer for the same price. I am having trouble finding info on it. are there programs or plastic? and does it supports 22 khz. satt. switching.
