DM500 receiver runs on open-source software developed by hundreds of developers around the world. This is the ultimate machine. If you're looking for a VERY powerful unit, and something to have fun on, this is the unit for you. Not used for Cable (i.e. Virgin) Used for Sky and other Sattelite broadcasters.

Attention: This receiver can share card with IP, record with your pc and so much more!
