Hi "The Grandad Moderator" or "The oracle", I have a 7020 for satellite and a nokia dbox2 for cable. I need a new toy. Shall i go for a 500c? I never had a problem with my 7020, works like a dream. Eager awaiting ur opinions.:fence:

If you need it now get the 600c worth the extra than original 500c at the min or get a cheapo clone 500c dont pay more that ?100 though.

R the images as good as for dbox2? And also It's got only one scart. Any dreambox out there with 2 scarts for cable?

I have 500c and sagem dbox2, 500c wins hands down for me, half the size never freezes brand new, scart is no problem as I just press TV button on my dvd recorder and it videos as it should press it again to view dvd's etc. I do believe the Nokia Dbox2 are better than sagem, maybe this is why I prefer my 500c. Oh standard TV tuner for 500c works for basic channels which isnt available on DBox2. Although more support for dbox2.

Just my 2 pence worth, the D box has more backup at the mo than the dreambox but its getting better but having said that the dreambox is new the Dbox is quite old and can be Hit and miss to buy

I've just got a 500-C for a M8 - TBH, I don't think the picture quality is anything like as good as the D-Box.

Maybe it's just what I'm used to - but I'd go for a D-Box without hesitation.
