also looking for original dreambox dm800, i do not want a clone

i am looking to buy off a reputable seller, if possible and someone who can guarantee it is original and hold good for the warranty incase of any faults etc..

everywhere seems to be out of stock of this box or is a clone..

where would you guys get one from?

thanks

[caveman_nige]

satstore.co.uk sells genuine boxes but i think he has sold out... Other than that, best to google your request and then ask them yourself mate..

[westkill]

got this from trading standeds

The trader must sort out your problem, not the manufacturer Remember, if you are entitled to a refund, replacement, repair or compensation, it is the trader who must sort out your problem. The trader cannot tell you to go back to the manufacturer

[cauliflower69]

bloody hell I'd be pissed.

I'd drive to his place of business and get a refund and I wouldn't leave without it either.

You bought that from an original dealer and there telling you to go to the manufacture direct.

You have a contract with him no one else.

I hate ppl that try to fob ya off to someone else

** Rant over **

I to am about to part with cash for a dm800. I would like confirmation that

i bought 2 from sms and tbh when i first spoke to him, he did sound like he had an attitude problem, but if i have any probs with mine and he doesnt sort out himself within the 12 months warranty, then i will also kick up a big friggin stink

[2tone]

max is ok you just need to know how to talk to him his head is all over the place lots of people on the phone looking receivers of him i even sent a 500 to him that was two years old and max got it fixed for free every time i change to a different dreambox i go to max has never let me down

[techmob]

yea but at the end of the day he should be atleast polite and cooperative towards a customer..

you may know him and he acts different to you, but my first impressions were not great and that is important, and then you hear other stuff

i will give him the benefit of the doubt and hope i don't need to contact him regarding mine

[cauliflower69]

I have no dealings with the man but customer service is key to future business in my opinion.

[tomcat415]

update well the box has been sent to Dream Multimedia to be looked at sent 21/02/09
to re-cap
got dm8000 one screw half out at the back one screw forced in at the back the dm8000 was not booting sometimes thougt it was me but was trying diff images then 4 days later my dvb-c turner card came open the box to see the chip and motherboard looked burnt (see pic) email sms i told them about it and said want a replacement -reply everyone is happy with there dm8000? again email them -reply take chip out send it to Dream Multimedia ?-email them again -reply send box to Dream Multimedia? last email to them informed trading standards about this -email back from sms- There is no need to jump the gun?
asked Dream Multimedia to check if this is a beta dm8000 or not while they check it !! at the end of the day if you buy something and not happy you get a re-fund mine was not up to the mark
asked for the cost of sending it to Dream Multimedia i bet he fell of his chair while counting money :y:

[techmob]

so it cost you to send it to dream, how much?

how quick did dream respond to you, because everytime i have contacted them, i never seem to get a response

i have actually emailed them regarding a problem i have with my dm800 bought from sms, i have not bothered contacted him yet as i can imagine him trying any excuse not to swap it as the box functions fine other than this one problem

problem being i cannot get it to flash while in PRESS STOP DHCP MODE, or even signing a static ip to it, it wont flash via browser, only way is serial

the other dm800 i got from him flashes fine via browser

so you can imagine he wont be very helpful like some other sellers out there

Oops.. I just ordered an 800HD from them and it's supposed to be dispatched tomorrow by parcelforce..
I have booked a day off thursday in anticipation of going to the local parcelforce depot and collecting it...
If it hasn't shown by then I will be a bit upset to say the least. I also got a good price to add in the cable tuner module. No other official distributors seem to be holdnig 800's at the moment so choice of my source was limited..
I'll keep y'all posted..

:s:

[mickz]

Hi all,
Like your good selves i too have been hunting around for a DM800 (not clone) and emailed Satstore last week regarding stock.

The response was that stock was expected by the latter half of this week (w /c 23/02).

We shall wait and see , Hope this helps.
Mickz

[cauliflower69]

satstore is a good bit more expensive than others

399.00 GBP

=

454.595 EUR

compared to hm-sat.de that shows 429.

I know that shipping is a factor but the base price is 25 euro in the difference.

[Curious123]

I brought my dm600 from satstore and never had any hassle. If I was going to buy a dm800 I don't think I could trust anyone other than satstore.

His name is Mark Hemmings nice bloke. I talked him into giving me a discount for my dm600 for being a DW member and saved a few quid on delivery as well by picking up the box.

[tomcat415]

got my dm7025 from satstore about 3 years ago worked like a charm very helpful and answers emails toooooo :call: shame they never had the dm8000 in

[techmob]

i spoke to mark at satstore when the dm800 were in short supply, he didnt have it in stock

but he was very helpful and sounded a nice guy, i would of used him and would probably use him in the future

[alunfennell]

I got my Dreambox DM 600 S with 160 GB hardrive in silver for Euro 268.00 from Germany, I was some what reluctant to buy over sea's but I in all fairness it was so good I bought another one shortly after.

MY-Solution.de - for my entertainment (http://www.my-solution.de/index.php?show=quicksearch&quicksearch=8971&click_count=4&Artikel_ID=8971&details=8971)

The problem with these receivers is like some of you have touched on is there are a few different versions of the Dreambox 600 as they are built by different out sourced companys which source different vendors for the parts needed to build these receivers.

On top of that Shenzhen in China are banging out thousands of these receivers every month and are flooding the European market, you can even buy directly online from these manufacture in China & even in bulk if you want to resell on the likes of Flebay.

[cauliflower69]

Right for anyone interested in an ORIGINAL dm800 HD go over as far as h**p://www.southernsat.co.uk/index.php?l=product_detail&p=21

I have dealt with this guy a load of times and hes always come up trumps. I didnt think he stocked dreambox 800's but now he does.

Happy days ;)

[tomcat415]

thanks for the link cauliflower69 can come in handy as a mate of mine is looking in to getting one hes got the skybox and was looking in to getting hotbird too with his skybox but realy the skybox is only ment for astra ya you can pick up some channels
from hotbird but not full range with even two lnbs

[cauliflower69]

Thats because sky only use s/r (symbol rate) of 22000 and 27500 so limited range when blind scanning

[westkill]

If your on about smsdreambox shop they are the real thing m8 i know max and he has been on dreams site for a long time as a dealer they might be doing there site up i use max all the time and all his stuff is 100% real stuff , ill ask him why he is not on there site as i have to get a 100 for a friend to see why he is not on there site anymore

Bought an original DM800 with a DVBC tuner from HM Sat in Germany (h**ps://www.hm-sat-shop.de) it was 431 Euro including delivery and a 4% credit card surcharge (415 Euro paying up front). As my bank doesn't charge an exchange rate this worked out to be ?368. A significant saving on UK dealers, although Satellite Superstore (h**ttp://www.satellitesuperstore.com/) who do originals have just dropped prices to ?400 delivered.

The unit arrived within about four days and HM sat didn't ship the unit with a SATA cable, but after emailing them, they sent one out in the post. However this took a while but they did as they said, so I can't complain about the service so far.

I paid ?290 delivered for a Clone DM800S in December 08 and when I started looking for a DM800C clone I couldn't even find one. Given the price difference, I would no longer consider a clone.

Also be Warned, if like me you want to run two DM800s side by side, really you need to reprogramme the remote to stop conflicts (use a JP1.2 cable). The clone remote did NOT support this, the original works great with this, it also feels much better quality.

[smith]

?215? New?? I haven't seen one for that price anywhere and I certainly haven't seen a clone DM800C that is IN STOCK. Do you have a link?

I have both, and happy with them, it was the clone that prompted me to buy a second. But as I said, I would have a problem running the two together without the original remote. ?80 difference wasn't worth it for me.

[tim browne]

My friend buy a DM800-s HD from , it works like a dream!!! i love it so much, I buy and pay via paypal. it is very safe. All function the same to the real dm800hd, why don't you like it?:dancing2::dancing2::dancing2:

I have got my Dm500hd from -dreamboxshop uk my invoice number is 27451 that means that they have 27451 satisfied customers and you are the only 1/2 who sent the box to them twice duablo cam could have a virus which most of cams have because people keep on loading and updating them
the DM500HD came next day very fast service. I have been buying my dreambox?s from them for many years. I have been to their place a few times and have had coffee with them. I had one of my friend dreambox repaired through them and they sent it to dream multimedia and got it fixed .
he is very happy with the service that he received . have you got your box back from dream multimedia and how long did it take.
whatever is the shipping cost to DMM , send the bill to max and he always send you a cheque, do let me know. I will email him as well he is a great guy
thanks

You were sent a replacement of which you stated that you didnt need as you found out it was the power supply causing the problem & not the unit so there for you have 2 units for the price of one. You tried to contact me via msn & blag another psu for the receiver of which I gave you a price for but you wanted it for nothing. I there-fore request you straighten out your comment.
