Just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to add a USB digital terrestrial dongle to pick up the Irish tv stations? Also, can it be integrated in to the EPG?
I understand it can be done with a DM 8000.

My question is, if I added something like this http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320498773576&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_5602wt_905 (an external digital terrestrial tuner with USB connection) would I be able to do the same?
If this worked, which I'm beginning to doubt, you could get the UK sat channels and the Irish channels.

Ah so so,..I'm busy building up stocks of dried & tinned food for the coming economic implosion ;-(
http://www.saortv.com/shop/index.php have boxes that do both the DTT & Satellite version of the Irish digital TV service, so your picking up everything except a picture ? some TV's have intergrated digital tuners but they need to be the mpeg4 standard unlike the mpeg2 uk freeview/freesat ready tv's.

Thanks lads. It appears the answer is no, not in the short term anyway?

not that I can see Nelly, not in Ire anyways
@ Lenny, yeah picking the above up alright, thats without an aerial plugged in mind, checked the signal level on CH54, its very very low, so was thinking a powered aerial in the back may do the trick, the TV is a LG6100 Scarlet, bought down here about a year n bit, nearly sure its MPEG4, could be wrong though, it has a hybrid tuner for analogue TV and DVB-T, when a chan comes on, its flashs MPEG on the screen, but I am thinking its more to do with signal.

The Dream Elite Black Hole image supports the use of a DTT USB dongle .

The decoding of the signal is done in software ,not hardware so a standard DVB-T usb tuner will do the job.
The DM800 can decode Mpeg 4 signals ,most HD content is Mpeg4.
To get it working on the DM800 ,you need the Dream Elite Black Hole image which contains drivers for a USB DTT stick .
You install the drivers,and can configure it in the system setup.
Obviously you need a DTT signal to connect into the USB tuner so you will need a UHF aerial that covers the required spectrum for your area.

The Dream Elite image has drivers for ~20 specific USB tuner models,mostly Hauppage,Avermedia,Asus so make sure you buy one that is compatible.
