Hi all, I am thinking of getting a dreambox (satelite version obviously) coz my dbox2 has gone for good and is now an expensive paperwait. I was wondering if it is worth doing so at the moment, they are expensive and I dont want to buy one if there are gonna go off at any moment.

Also which is the best to get, which am I getting value for money from.

get the 800 great for streaming divx from your pc, the HD is great, you have a youtube add on, and the options on the images are far better than the 500's, never tried the 600 or 700

I'm thinking of getting a clone 800 I'll let you know what I think of it if or when i get it.

I did consider the VU solo ( i have no need for a twin tuner) but after seeing the size of the VU+duo it put me off, as its big and ugly and not nearly as neat and sexy as my DM600 :roflmao:

So in my case when it comes to sat boxes smaller really is nicer ;)

Have you tried any of the ways around it and what are they ?

Do you have any probs etc with the HD chanels as I have read somewhere that some peeps were having probs with them either glitching or stuttering ?

What image are you using on it and have you tried a few ?

had some glitching at first, im told its do do with a weak tuner in the clones, an inline amp from fleebay cost ?3 fixes this, you can by a usb notebook cooler to sit underneath the box so you can disconnect the noisey fan, i have not disconnect my fan but a few freinds have without any problems but its up to you, i have installed a hard drive and i run my subbed card in the internal reader, everything has been fine to date, btw the dm8000 clones have had decent reviews, too pricey for me though, im using the nablio soft image

If you are going to get a dm800HD make sure it has the rev L3 tuner and the ferrari sim in it you should be able to get one for around ?165 delivered.

I've seen and been recommended a site from china for around the ?170 mark, but I'm not sure if it has the L3 tuner and the ferrari sim.
