Blade bm 7000s hd satellite receiver

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???

 

hi, i have the same box, and yes it does receive all channels, including all hd channels, sports, movies, and the rest (excluding box office). great choice, because its a brilliant box.

 

Cheers Ger, are you in the uk or Ireland? I've a box at the moment that gets rte/1/2 and tv 3 on c/s, the Irish chans, just wondering will they be on the 7000s too?

 

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.

 

Cool, Ja notice any feint lines going across the screen on it? From left to right?

 

nope..no lines mate..i cant fault it so far

 

Sweet, looking forward to my delivery now!

Is it user friendly?

 

yeah...its user friendly...usb makes it very simple and easy for updates and backup up channel lists etc.

 

Updates??? The one im getting is plug n play! What sort of updates ya talkin?

 

i was refering to new firmware updates, editing channel list etc

 

@ dubfella, you get the box with all included? price cover the box and extras?

 

All in yes, just plug n play mate!

Its £250 which includes the box and the year sub, can't say where mate, don't know ya, you understand!
I'll ask the supplier see what he says!
Sorry pal!

You can get the box on skywonder.co.uk for £150 if your interested MAXF17, then all you need to do is find a good server, simples.

 

Thanks dub12 as a 64year newbie the bit that caught my eye was the plug and play bit if you get my meaning
