    Thinking about the 800HD c

    I currently have a 500c that works perfectly.

    I want to pick up a few HD channels and i believe the 800HD is what i need.

    Just interested to see if anyone is using it and what the quality is like.

    Cheers.

    I am not using one but I would hold fire buying any new box because of the dreaded Nagra 3 coming in. You won't be able to see the HD channels soon as Nagra 3, like the snow, is making its way across the country.

      virgin HD on dm800c is best it can get
      picture quality and sound quality is to die for
      if you get 800 and virgin goes n3, then you can either CS or just plug a sat tuner in it ..so win win.

          not yet, it needs someone to implement it - instead of waiting for someone else to do it.

            Or get ripped off by poor quality clone sellers. I am having major issues with DVBseller and have thrown ?300 down the drain. Ordered a box 1/10/09 was dead on arrival had to pay extortionate postage to send back. A replacement was recd over 6 weeks later after lots of chasing. This lasted 1 day. Returned again this was confirmed as recd 20/12 but everytime I email I rarely get a reply and if I do its forwarding to factory and then nothing again. Stephen who was dealing never replies.

            I wouldn't bother .

              I keep telling people this..

              Dont buy a dreambox from websites that create cheap rip off clones from china. I got my Dreambox from an Ebay seller within the !!UK!!!

              My box is actually called a Blackbox 500c, its a dreambox 500c clone but has been created using the best quality parts, including a Phillips tuner - No more freezing images.
