Hi All,
Can anyone suggest which Dreambox i should get. My budget is around ?150. I have cable. Can anyone recommend the best place to buy one? I am thinking of the 600PVR from http://dreambox500s-seller.com/dreambox-600pvr-for-sale.htm. What do you guys suggest? THANKS

It depends if you wana record TV or not.
If you don't want to record TV then Dreambox 500C or Blackbox 500C (click the banner at the bottom of the page)
If you do want to record TV then 600C. Go to DVBMonkey.com - cable & satellite at great prices (Powered by CubeCart) (http://www.dvbmonkey.com)

Legit DreamBox 600's come with interchangeable tuners
Thus more versatile..
Clone boxs have a fixed tuner, there have been problems in the past with the tuners on cloned dm500 's missing certain freqs, And certain images have been know to kill clone box's
www.321BERLIN.de - DISCOUNT - Herzlich willkommen in unserem Online-Store (http://www.321berlin.de) offer good value on 600's and will supply it with whatever tuner you need if u ask them. Thats where i got mine
Personally i'd prefer to try and get the best price possible for a genuine item, than risk money on a clone that may or may not be good.

I have a dm 600pvr and the remote stop working, tested the remote control and it was fine, i bought it from a well known auction site about 4 months ago and after 3 months it stopped working properley. i posted a picture of my box to try and find out wether it was a clone or not. emailed the seller and got the cold shoulder, the tuner can be removed and changed does this mean the box is legit?
thanks

I am seriously considering the ITGATE 220, where is the best place to get one? Also when i do get one, i assume i need to flash it? where do i get the images from? Do the Dreambox and ITGATE share the same images? I know i need to stay away from the gemini images.

I would email dvdmonkey and ask him the question. He does reply at least once.
What about the Dream security sim card, does a clone have a sim card or a chip i ask this because when you look at the very first 600 pvr picture and obviously not a clone it shows a chip and not a little sim card holder? can anyone shed any light on this matter. Can anyone recommend a dreambox repair engineer (northwest area)
thanks

The TCM and TGC220 come preflashed and you just scan,the support is great and you wont get a better bunch of people behind you although the 600 is a nice tidy little box it can sometimes give trouble re overheating,plus youll have to get a hdd and fit it coz they dont come with them.
I'd go itgate if i were you,but it all depends what you use it for...recording etc.
