    Help with DM800 HD PVR

    Hi guys. I got my dm800hd pvr from Singapore and it was working fine. It's been a while since that last time I used my dreambox as I have migrated to another country (Taiwan). Can anyone advise me if I can use my dreambox here and can I also have the link for the latest firmware/image so I can reflash my box?

    I appreciate your replies. Cheers!!!

      First you need to find out what type of DVB standard Taiwan is using.

      According to wiki search:
      Results:

      In Taiwan, some digital cable television systems use DVB-C, though most customers still use analog NTSC cable television. The government planned adopting ATSC or the Japanese ISDB-T standard as NTSC's replacement. However, the country has chosen the European DVB-T system instead. Public Television Service (PTS) and Formosan TV now provided high definition television. The former has a channel called HiHD; the latter uses its HD channel for broadcasting MLB baseball.

      Now you need just to confirm its either DVB-C or DVB-T, in areas where satellite channels are available, perhaps DVB-S or DVB-S2?

      Just get the DM800 tuner module accordingly.

              To my understand, Taiwan is using dvb-s as I've previously stay there for 1.5yrs.

              You still can use your 800hd just that you need to buy a dvb-s tuner. Tuner is plug & play for 800hd unlike the dm500.

              As for what image to use, don't think anyone in SG able to comment.
