Just wondering as i've made my mind up, i want an HD capable box with good picture quality compared to DBOX 2, with the ability to have images updated etc. Thanks in advance!

i bought mine from sat store but theres only 1 hd channel on virgin

I was under the impression that the DM800 also upscaled the picture on normal channels too, at least i'm sure i read that somewhere. Can anyone shed some light on this?

yeah it can output 720p and 1080i.

Personally i wish it would just output at the resolution of the broadcast and let my tv do the upscaling so as the image isnt going through 2 sets of scaling ( on sky hd you can set automatic which allows for this )

however on the plus side the picture quality is much better than my virgin box so it could be worth investing and with the virgin network maxed out i believe there wont be any more hd channels being added although im not 100% sure on that maybee someone else could confirm

LOL m8, you could always bang a SAT Tuner in when you get bored of cable as there are loads of HD channels on that.

when you say genuine does that mean you have seen a clone version somewhere?

The dm800 hd is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for i suppose. Are there alternatives to this box that still receive hd and have the ability to have images changed etc?
