Begginers question

[el-diablo]

Hi All

I am completely new to this and desperately need some help, Ive scoured the internet and read loads of info regarding Dreambox and Dbox etc and i am completely baffled. After reading some posts on your forum it's quite apparent you guy's know what your talking about, so here's my question.

I have a basic cable package and would like to "squeeze" a little more viewing from it but not sure what i need to buy and what I will need to acheive this. I am quite computer savvy and have read your guide to flashing the thingy and backing up the wotsit and that would be no prob but I would appreciate your guidance on what recievers are recomended and if at all this is possible.

Sorry if this is a noob question and for posting it in the first place.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Regards Chris

As long as your in the uk then it's a simple matter of buying a box mate tghen you can worry about flashing get a box from here Cable Receivers?::?Skywonder Ltd eurovox, starview and kryptview are all good for what you want but seriously could talk till your blue in the face buy a box you'll be running in no time.

hi mate if your after HD BOX then go for eurovox ex7000 nice box but ?100 more than standard none hd box.

As Deni says the Euro HD box is a good choice Eurovox EX7000 HD+ 1080i Cable Box?::?Cable Receivers?::?Skywonder Ltd But expensive.

Good budget box is Eurovox Max EX1000 SL?::?Cable Receivers?::?Skywonder Ltd or The Box Super USB - Starview 4?::?Cable Receivers?::?Skywonder Ltd

Or you could go the dreambox route a little more complicated but superior in other ways Dreambox 500C Digital Cable STB [DM500-C] - $69.99 : Sat Sun, Digital TV please bear in mind you'll pay ?20 postage and it is a clone from China but that being said still worth it

Thanks all for your replies, very much appreciated. I will get looking now.

I see you have a garage section. ive been in the trade for many years on Peugeot and Citroen so I will help in any way I can in that section to at least contribute something back to the Forum.

Hi There,

I have the starview 4. Easy to set, even for me. Nothing to compare it to and no expert, but if I can get it working, then anyone can

[el-diablo]

Amazingly I have done it, came with a USB stick, installed and renamed the flash file and it worked.
Up and running like a good one and High Def to boot.


Many Thanks again
