          As previously said, it's exactly the same as a dreambox only it's got a different casing. DM500 images will work too.

                Its a replica of a 500C, just without the badge..

                I know buyingthings were stung by the Virgin boys but all back on their feet..

                  I ordered from them yesterday, hope I ain't going to wait two months...!!!

                  I think it's quite good it's not going to have "Dreambox" on it, as I can just pass it off as a generic Freeview box if anyone asks...!

                    i sent em an email..cos i want to purchase 4 or 5 but not get stung by customs.. they said that they are sent via EMs from abroad..meaning there is a possibility i could get stung for customs??? think i mite try this other seller and order 1 at time..will try for couple first to see if delivered ok. thats the only thing that put me off with BuyingThings.co.uk - The Online Store! they have no uk stock

                      BuyingThings only recently have no UK stock but I believe they are planning to keep them in the UK due to the hassle.

                        Hmm, I ordered from them because it says on their site that the 500c is IN Stock... Is this not true then...?

                          I ordered a Linux black Box from them yesterday, I emailed them their reply was that they dont have UK stock but do have stock in China, will take about a week to get to me. Their site shows they have stock but thats only in China.
                          They said in 2 weeks time they will start to have UK stock

                            I Have emailed them twice now and also tried ringing them but answerphone each time to ask if they have stock in the UK but they have failed to respond at all, this surprises me as in other threads people have said they always respond quickly which leaves me to believe they do not have stock in the UK.
