I have a dreambox DM-500C for sale. They haven't cabled the area in our new house so I'm on Satellite now.
It's running DigitalWorldz 1.6 I think and is the best thing out there for what you want.
MOSC cards get nuked, and 'chipped boxes' refers to analog CATV I think which has fewer channels now and other problems.

The only problem with it is that through use some of the words have rubbed off the remote control buttons :)

You shouldn't have this thread out in public for all to see.
Everything except on-demand/interactive. The box "listens and receives" but does not talk or communicate back to the network.

The boxes are in no way illegal to own so its alright to have on the public forum. eurovox sell there boxes new for £100 and they have a built it EPG and everything and will pick up all the channels

I haven't used anything except the Linux receivers (dbox2, dreambox & tm9100), but the Eurovox seems to be well recommended if you just want a box to watch TV. The dreambox does other funny stuff like let you play pacman, lemmings, stream movies to PC, play movies or music from PC hard disk over network, record movies to PC over network (PVR) etc. As far as I remember, the NTL boxes with modified original smart cards (MOSC) get nuked every now and then.

Google is your friend. The dreamboxes are the modern version of the DBox2. It's very small, about the size of a VCR cassette.

When they come off the shelf, they have the OEM Dream Multimedia software which doesn't include any cam emulators. I have installed DigitalWorldz 1.6 onto the box with mgcamd and current keys so you just scan for channels (best to tell it to clear out existing channels as my transponders will likely be different to yours) and away you go.

No worries ;) From what I googled, it sounds like the Eurovox will suit you. There are warnings about cloned/fake boxes out there in particular on eBay which may get wiped out by software updates like the cloned/fake Starview boxes apparently do.
