Gidday Jonc.
I'm using a dm7025 (I only have the one sat box) and currrently its running Gemini2 ver 3.4. We live in a remote locality and this box is our only broadcast source (Aurora Optus C1).
One of the best features that I regularly use is streaming controlled by the web interface. Its taken a bit of trial and error with the settings for vlc but I can now get flawless streaming from live TV or files saved on the dm7025's hard disk (or both simultaneously).
This means that while my wife watches TV, I can watch another channel or pre-recorded program streamed to my PC or my wirelessly connected laptop. (The dm7025 is wired to a Linksys WGT54g).
I also use MView E2 to get a weeks worth of EPG automatically downloaded from the web (vSat internet) which means we make the most of FTA programming without the need for pay TV. I have played with PeterPan Image recently and have their Sqlite EPG working nicely but I haven't played with Iolite yet. The Iolite mipsel image lacks many of their features, I understand from their forum.
Anyway I was interested to see you waxing lyrical about Zapstream. Maybe, it handles vlc with less intervention than Gemini2? or maybe its a bit tricky getting streaming performance out of the dm500?
I have tried your trick of streaming multiple programs to my PC from the dm7025 and it is quite happy doing so... I just have trouble absorbing the simultaneous audio!
cheers
