Fibo-box Control your satellite dish with your PC
In the golden days, many analog receivers came with integrated motor control. Granted, the number of available satellites was rather limited back then, but on the other hand reception equipment usually carried a hefty price tag, so for many satellite enthusiasts it made perfect sense to have a single dish and LNB that could be rotated with the help of a motor.

Dreambox DM800HD Review
The capability of the Linux-powered Dreambox DM800HD is defined by your choice of HDD.
Our review sample was equipped with a 2.5in 120GB drive. Something else the 600 and 800 models share in common is the external power supply.

That said, the 800HD takes provision for standard-def reception and connectivity too – and so will be just as happy with a Scart-fed 14in portable set, should you decide to take it on the move. Continue reading
