Dreambox DM-600C PVR - basically a DM-500 with an IDE interface and enough room to accommodate a 2.5 inch laptop drive.  So now there is no excuse for those of you with only enough space under the TV to jam in an extra fag-packet. These boxes really are small at 195 mm x 130 mm x 40 mm (W x D x H) and look good enough to eat.
