DM500HD has arrived in UK

[KMM]

FYI.

I Have just brought my Dreambox DM500HD from UK seller. I should be getting it next week. When I spoke to them the price was adjusted To ?319 if I pick it up. They only charge ?10 for delivery so it becomes ?329 delivered. As I live in london they are only 25 minutes away from my place, so I will be picking the dreambox up. I have already paid them so I will have it first. I am very excited to get my hands on it. I have always brought satellite receivers from this company for the last 18 years. I prefer to buy in the UK because there is no hassle if things go wrong.

[Sat-Shop]

I will keep you updated guys


Your post leads me to believe you are the seller? Checking a few of your other posts like this one http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f11/icecrypt-s4000-hd-linux-powered-networking-satellite-receiver-84618/ , for me verifies this!
Anyway, most seem to think that its too expensive!

[Manic01]

He has spammed this info across the internet. He is the seller without doubt. And an unlucky one at those prices. You could get 2 DM800 clones for that lol

[piptaps]

Dm800HD is now ?140 delivered. Clone. And it work as good as an OG.

For the price of this Dm500HD i can get 2 Dm800 and a dm500 on top.

To those who are thinking of Technomate, i personally will not go there.

Dreambox is the in-thing. Technomate are trying to imitate but they are still way down the packing order in terms of support and box capabilities

[mjamil]

dreambox is the best don,t tell to other buy clones but some time you get good deals

[andersjay]

i would be interested where you can get a dm800hd clone for 140 delivered

You have to remember both boxes run the same OS. ( Enigma ) and the functions on top come at a price..

I have read some good reports about this seller in china

SHENZHEN YAOXIN ElECTRONIC CO., LTD (http://www.yaoxincn.com/products.asp?m=3&class1=Digital%20Products&bigclassname=Satellite%20Receiver)

[flyingpig]

Can some outlinie why you would use a DM500 HD over and above a DM800HD?

I dont know too much about them? It is more memory? Does the DM500HD run E2?

[firestorm]

the 500 has a 400mhz processor the 800 as 300mhz
the both have the same ram 256
and the 500 has hdmi out put

to me this seems a great box and cant wait to get hold of one
but i will wait to see if there are any bugs first before buying one

[flyingpig]

So the 800 doesnt have hdmi output? Isnt HDMI the HD, or is there another connection for HD to a TV?

[firestorm]

no it has a lead that converts it to hdmi

[firestorm]

here is all the specs on the dreambox models :wink:

1. Dreambox support is FAR better thqan any other STB, My first box was a Technomate and the software for that has not caught up with Dreambox yet after more thn 2 years. It also lacks several features the DM has.
2. Clones are cheap for many reasons, most importantly is that there is no post sales support - try to get a dud fixed. They also use inferior quality components, most important are low quality capacitors. They try to compensate by adding fans.
3. The DM500HD only shares part of its name with the old DM500 - look at the specs, for starters the DM500HD has a 400Mhz processor and double the memory. It is much closer related to the DM800; looking at the specs it seems like it is a better STB than the DM800. Only downside is that the hard disk has to be connected externally with eSata and the tuners are soldered into the board.
4. The price is much better than the DM800HD for a higer spec machine (it seems). I get mine on Tuesday from SMS and will post my findings once I have had a play with it.
5. Its a shame it does not have an OLED display, but \I suppose that would have required a bigger box.

[freck]

How about the flag ship DM 8000 model for ?271 plus free shipping,still cheaper then the DM500HD and you'd probably get another dm500s thrown in for 300 notes if you were to be a bit cheeky.Check it out (http://www.dhgate.com/hd-pvr-satellite-receiver-box-free-amp-drop/p-ff80808126c02d1c0126d298c052521a.html#5)

?329!! LMFAO, DMM are having a laugh at that price. Buy a VU+Duo for ?399, Enigma 2, Dual Tuner, fit internal HDD just like a DM8000, but less than half the price :)

[pongo snodgrass]

i notice that it has only 1 lnb input ?..where is the 2nd lnb out ?...i thought for HD you need lnb in and lnb out?...or am i misiing something here.

[Sat-Shop]

No, no requirement to have a loop-through be it SD or HD. The loopthrough would allow you to take the signal in and out to another second receiver if you wanted, but it's not needed for the original receiver to function. :)

[mjamil]

any info how to flash 500hd? no conected with dreamup or any guide for flashing?

Hi guys,

I'm new to all this so go easy!

Does this look like a good deal to you? Bit wary of buying from China, but every penny counts at the minute...

Drop Shipping DM800 Dreambox 800 HD PRV Set Top Box Satellite ...USD209.0 Wholesale Price at DHgate.com (http://www.dhgate.com/drop-shipping-dm800-dreambox-800-hd-prv-set/p-ff808081250bd4ea01253442c00e5d6c.html)

I'd prefer to buy from UK of course, but it seems much more expensive - unless anyone can recommend anywhere?

Cheers

[firestorm]

Dont touch dh gate they are a nightmare to deal with if any thing goes wrong.Also there is a new dm800se coming out so these boxes may drop in price when the new model arrives.
Another problem buying direct from china is you may get customs charges

if you gona order from china get it from here.

YaoXin Electronic CO.,LTD (http://www.yaoxincn.com/)

lots of members on here have had them from tony, but as said you risk custom charges and the distance to send back if any probs.

[citygent1911]

Thanks guys,

so where is reliable in the UK? I'm torn between the dm500 and dm800. 500 is obviously cheaper, but I have a full hd tv so seems a shame not to use it properly!

Is there a reliable HD receiver that doesn't have PVR facility? Would be cheaper I guess??

And is there REALLY a problem with clones? My brother has a dm800 clone and has had no problems with it.

If it helps, I don't want a motorised dish etc - I only want to be able to access Sly. Not bothered about foreign channels / sats.

As I said, I'm new to this so am open to suggestions....

Cheers
