Which DreamBox?

[cuongzi]

Hi all,
I'm looking to get a dreambox I have a budget of around ?150.

Just basically would like to set it up for a premium cardshare and watch mainly football. Also would love to watch in HD too.

Any advice on which model to get would be greatly appreciated. I'm a complete beginner so a model that has plenty of guides and "easier" to set up would be preferred.

I have a motorized dish and currently using a Technomate 5200 but since the loss of premiere I have decided to jump in the deep end and switch to a dreambox.

Thanks in advance.

For under ?150, you are looking at a DM500.

If you want HD than you will need to fork out more than twic that amount for a dreambox. With a budget of ?150 you maybe able to get a clone dm600 also if you want fotball mainly than you need to get asat box and not a cable box.

If you can stretch to another 50 notes, I would get a original dm600, the clones aren't that different in money once you factor in deliever and vat on import.

There are some good stores in the UK for a original DM600.

Thanks for the helpful replies guys. Sorry to sound like a dummie but how do i distinguish between a sat box and a cable box?

Easy m8, as an example

Dreambox 500c = cable

Dreambox 500s = sat
