i guess you dont use the harddisk recording stuff - because afaik its
not working that way - you will have to connect a pc and a software on
that pc has to be operated to record (DVBRecorder-v1.19d) and its not
possible to replay this stuff with the dbox - the processor of the box
is very small and it´s even not possible to replay a dvd (only vcd)

but the new premiere direkt portal funktion does not exist for dbox1

but because of the lack of ram you will have to wait a little on every
channel if you want to see mere then now/next on that channel

nothing like the whats now/next or the calender patch for vdr

if you speak for a original bootblock/firmware, with a nokia bootloader
and dvb2000 it will work (vgrabber)

no, best solution (beside the bdm) is to use scsi from your pc, it´s the
fastet way if you stick to dvb2000 (have a look at vgrabber)

??? even if you connect a dvd-rom, no dvd replay and no mp3 replay

does exit in dbox2 and has be adapted by andres schulz (autopid and scanner)

sorry dbox1 was good 2 years ago but compared with vdr it´s nothing

stability of vdr? - i dont have problems with that anymore since weeks,
the Metzler brothers, people from convergence and Klaus did a good job
