Last week I went to .nl to get a Dreambox 7025S. It was almost 100 EUR cheaper over the border. It is cool to telnet to your sat. receiver:

It doesn't run debian *yet), but the a modified firmware (Gemini). It reads our TVV card without problems and because it was 2 receivers we can now decode 4 streams from at the most 2 different transponders that are 'close enough' on the same satellite. In the future I hope to get a new switch and lay an extra cable so we can use streams from 2 different satellites if we want. One stream we can see, the others we can have for PiP, for recording on the on-board HD or to stream over the local LAN.
