The best dbox is probably a dreambox m8. Brand new (with guarantee) - not second hand.

If are getting a Dbox then get a Nokia. The UK images seem to have less problems on the Nokias than Sagems.

1x sagem (black) for me any day.

if your nokia power supply goes throw the lot in the bin
if a sagem supply goes throw the power supply and fit a new one.

accidently cut your nokia power cable tough luck use dodgy terminal connectors
accidently cut your sagem power cable, not a problem it's a standard figure 8 plug so fit a new one (borrow the one of your cc box or cable modem)

Nokias can get terrible lines on the LCD
Only ever seen one Sagem with lines on the LCD

Nokia fronts very strong
Sagem front flaps are crap thats why there are so many without them.

Nokia tuners either work or they don't work
Sagem tuners are notoriously weak but an £8 booster (534-4228 argos) soon sorts that out.

You have to make your own choice, my son won't part with his nokia, I won't have a nokia (again).

dreambox 500c is better. its brand new with 12 months manufacturer warranty. also its 10 times faster than the dbox2. do not get me wrong the dbox21 is also very good but they are about 5 to 7 yrs old and the tuner can only work for a certain time. in other words it can die any time.

There will be lots of views but in this hot weather i would suggest fullstandby ( the little green light), not soft standby, when not in use.

The nokia is the most popular dbox and its the one I have and no problems with it, apart from the common LCD lines.
