How's it goin lads, Ive just purchased a bm7000s hd sat receiver, I got some info on it about c/s system, but now I'm being told it doesn't actually receive the actual hd chans just upgrades the standard chan to a better clarity... Is this correct or does it actually receive the sly sports hd chans etc etc???

im new to this myself mate, so all i can say is that, my box works using the existing sly dish, on 28.2E Astra2/Eurobird satelite, which is just the same as sly, same sly channel numbering etc. and im in uk, hd channels on this box are the best. its like moving from dial up internet to Broadband...you know what i mean.

Hi guys, the blade bm 7000 hd receiver.....does anyone know if it takes a wireless dongle? My router is upstairs and I cant connect to it via a LAN cable without drilling a whole in the floor/ceiling. Would the USB port support my wireless dongle to connect to my network so I can C/S. I know the dm800hd supports this and it is a very useful feature but would the blade bm 7000 hd support wireless dongles for access to my router upstairs.

Thanks for the specs dubfella and I can see that the usb port supports USB hardware such as hard drives, flash pens etc etc. But the problem/question is.....are there approriate drivers built into the receiver that allow the use of a wireless dongle?? The dm800hd lists its USB port spec the same as you ahve listed above but you can load a driver onto the dm800hd to support a wireless dongle. Would anyone know if you can/need to do the same to the blade 7000s hd?
