Dreambox 800 hd pro mate especially if you want hd if not cheaper option is Dreambox 500s.
Lots of support and easy to setup with some help.

It all depends on what method of decryption you use, If your using a legit subcription to Sky and are in the UK then no, If you are using other means to decryption, For example " card sharing " then yes you would probably pick it up with a decent sly server.

P.S, google cardshare for more, Can't talk much here on the subject!

I would say the Blade7000 or Technomate TM5402HD are easier to setup, especially for a novice, but you can do more with a Linux box.

In what aspect can you do more with a linux? Do u mean u can put different software on it?

[canford]

Yes hell of a lot more,good place to start looking at what this box and any other box is you tube.Hope this helps.

[setfiretorain]

Linux meaning that you can put software on it etc yes, You can also load in special " software " where with a small fee you can start getting your channels, That's all I have to say on the subject as we really shouldn't talk about it!

What linux box would you recommend? Reliability/Price

[kennybrum]

If i was you i would get a technomate 500 super they are cheap and reliable and easy to use. Its like a nokia phone for user friendly. You will need to install some software and then use the miniweb to add your other software sounds complicated but quite easy.

I'd go for a Spiderbox 7000/9000HD if you want a good linux box that you don't need to load in softcams etc, as soon as you take it out the box and set it up it will work when connected to the " broadband " side of things.

On the other hand a dm800HD, They are great and have a LOAD of different images to change the look / functionality of the box, Depends what floats your boat!

The spiderbox comes between ?140 - ?200 as does the dm800HD, Depending on where you shop.

Good luck, Regards.

[kizmax]

HEY GUYS ANY INFO ON VU+ Vs DM800HD AS i AM LOOKING TO PURCHASE NOW
ARE THEY EASY SET UP AND CAN ALL THE NORMAL AND PREMIUM CHANNELS BE RECIEVED WITHOUT SUBSCRIPTION :beer:

[setfiretorain]

Could have started by introducing yourself in the " introduce yourself " section and been a wee bit more politer when thread jacking someone like that!

Am leaning more towards the Blade7000hd box.. Not heard of the spiderbox till was mentioned on this thread.. lol

Guys Thanx for all the advice on these boxes

[RuberDuck]

if money is not a problem i would say go for a ET / XTREND 9000 or a Vu+Duo. these boxes are light years ahead of the dreamboxes in their support for example the dreambox's are running a linux kernal that is alomst 5 years old where xtrend are now experimenting with the newest kernals in the 3.0 range. personally i would say avoid the spiderbox like the plague. yes it's HD picture quality is very good but your totally reliant on a so called gift package that can and has been withdrawn at the drop of a hat. if HD is not important to you but you still want a linux based box go with a TM600 i have two of these and there easily one of the best E1 boxes out there and dead easy to setup too.


which ever way you decide to go, i would recomend you go to
www.world-of-satellite.co.uk as his after sales support can not be beaten and his prices are very very good. plus he does not sell any of those clone rubbish either so you know what your buying.

yes a TM is a technomate. the TM600 while a E1 box is a very good box. is have two setup in bedrooms and they by far beat my official DM600 hands down. but as you said money is no object have a look towards a ET9000 yes your looking at a expensive box but your easily going to get 5 to 10 years worth of use out of it and it's fully HD / 3D compliant.
