I bought mine from here:
B.C.T.(Shnezhen) Computer Company Ltd--

Just email them and they'll send you a price delivered,mine was about ?160 ish.It took 4 days to arrive and no import duty neither

You are better to buy a clone through a established UK company there are a few good online stores (Not all of them ! do some background research like sent an email and see if they respond) , buy within the UK simply because Import duty could be up to you once the postman delivers it, on other occasions its possable that it will not make it past customs, as these clone items are flagged at the point of entry.

I have noticed the price of the 800 HD has sored by around 30 pounds over the past few weeks due to currency convertion rates between the Euro-Stg & the Hong-Kong Dollar, this is been passed on to customers, so now it not realy the time to buy one .

Does anyone know if the UK sellers are shipping the newer L3 tuners?

[Manic01]

You would have to ask the sellers mate.

[tichmc9]

The second shop linked by Manic01 have told me that the next batch they receive will have the new L3 tuners

[loncell]

whats the advantage with the new L3 tuners ?

whats the advantage with the new L3 tuners ?

The previous tuners Rev.J & Rev.K caused freezing and glitching on some HD channels. There was a capacitor fix flying around that seemed to solve most peoples problems but it involved soldering of small components to the tuner board or sending your tuner back to your supplier, at a cost.

The problem was pretty large and the manufacturers seemed to have responded to it pretty quickly by shipping out boxes with the new Rev.L3 tuner, which had a bigger capacitor and some other components changed. This revision, from what I have read, has solved peoples HD problems, although some still have to use an inline amplifier to keep the signal strength as high as possible.

Should be receiving mine around the 23rd-24th from Yaoxcin. Paid for it a few weeks back but they said they had no stock

Anyway, hope this helped.

some ppl asked like me but were sold the older dm800.

were can i pick one up and be 100% garenteed a L3 tuner in it ?.UK or china im not arsed.

[geras]

So,how can you verify tuner's version (is it L3 or not ).
Tnk you.

[Superman]

it says L3 on the underside of the tuner.

The only difference I can see is that the original DM800 has a 400mhz processor and the clone versions have 300MHZ processor.But looking at the original it states

Dream Multimedia's flagship receiver is now available
