bit pricey , hopefully these will drive down the price of 1st edition genuine , aswell as clones !

Knowing DMM then September will come and go and then we will be into the new year before we see this.

[dave-h]

Yeah right!

That'll be september 2011 then...Dont know why DMM even bother to publish release dates, since they have no bearing on reality.

I would say it will be on the shelves in September, Its basically the same Motherboard / receiver as the DB500HD with two added usb Ports a Screen and maybe a little extra space for an intnernal Hard Drive.

There is very little between these two receivers now, when you peel away the skin.

[the man]

I think its comming out in red, silver, blue, and black.
like sp said i hope the prices for the 800hd drop a bit more

[redout]

I read that Dream have already stopped manufacturing the 800.

bit pricey , hopefully these will drive down the price of 1st edition genuine , aswell as clones !

Any Clone 800HD-SE or 500HD will be nothing more than cover and front panel, there is far more components & expencive chips in these new receivers for China to make them on the cheap other than using different Processors (but then these would not be considered a clone if they use different processors)

Inside a cone 800HD: Not a lot !

Inside the the Dreambox 500HD . A few expencive Boadcom chips etc

Its got to the stage that to make a clone will cost as much as the real item, or they will start using far lesser materials & chips in there production, If you buy a 800HD-SE or 500HD it will be nothing more than a current 800 dressed up in new clothes.

A bit like this sad attempt clone 500HD receintly released... nothing more than a 800HD dressed up (somewhat lol)

I saw Dreambox 500HD clones from china manufactures starting from 80$. The chips cannot be expensive in mass production and don't forget that there are a lot of them which didn't pass quality control, they cost almost nothing.

[Evilbert]

Where have you seen them for this price?

[drdupery]

Just look at
dreambox 500hd Products , China dreambox 500hd Manufacturers, China dreambox 500hd Suppliers, Made in China, Exporters, Factories - DIYTrade (http://www.diytrade.com/china/4/products-list/0-k-c-1/dreambox_500hd.html)

there china manufacturers directly offer their products :)
it's often wholesale offers

ok, checked again most offers are messed up by Chinese guys :)

anyway, China makes its profit on quantity not on quality, even if they got their 3 bucks

Some of these are only a clone 800HD with the new 500HD front pannel added.

[Evilbert]

So has anybody used SZ Forever Tech Co?
