Open Media - Bad attempt

[SatSearching]

And although I have been against clone boxes in the past, I have to admit that I bought a clone 500 and it is spot on, great little box and better quality than an origional.

Iv also had one of these since they have come out and used it for both cable and sat and as it was my 1st box for the sat side it had a lot of abuse as i played about with it loads and tryed different things on it.

I have to say its a great box and would recomend it to anyone. I mean dont get me wrong there are better ones but this comes top of the league compaired to others of similar prices.

Upto now Cevans, looks like, your in a minority of one. Anymore reviews welcome guys

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

Maybe your dealer is full of really badly constructed boxes..why not ask for a refund and buy of someone else?

ive had one of these boxes since they came out and had no problems at all!
you can`t beat this box for the price, it does all i need and the tuner has been better than any standard 500 ive had (copy or original) as for images, iv`e changed the image loads of times switched from cable to sat and had no problems.
the only thing iv`e not done is play football with it. .
if you want all singing and dancing go and pay stupid money, if you want good reliable at the right price then here is your box. ps i don`t have anything to do with company either..

sorry if i seem to hate them devilfish, my resent for these devices comes from my experience with a few that i have dealt with.

I really dont like the idea of clone dreamboxes tbh, theyre nowhere near the the quality and strength of the real things.

Again it is only my personal experience,..

o,o why the hell did you buy it if you dont like idea of clone box`s. go buy a over pace dm box. all so dm500c&s has bad tuners clone box`s have a beter tuner then dm.and larst it is useley the end user that f**k`s the box up as they dont know what they are doing all so you say you sent them back and the replacement ones whent t*t`s up too ? all so ware did you get them from you seem to live this bit out send them back and get them from some ware ells.and why the hell is the seller. selling them if he thinks ther no good. sunds like to me your talking out of your behind. yes box`s go whong but iv never hard of that meny go wong the same time all so has the seller had a big retun on them and if so wht is he not sorting the problam out?

Yup, cost of genuine boxes is a big issue! Dream claim it is due to research costs. I don't understand that when a lot of clever guys out there are doing image work for them free as a hobby!

I personally think Dream Multimedia are a bit greedy.

Check out the link below, appols if posted before, but I am told this is the DM head office, check out the staff cars, or try to as an "accident" happened there or they seriously upset someone!!!!....

Ive had my OpenMedia 500cs for about 7months now, and apart from the odd occasional problems, all software related and nothing to do with the Hardware its been a great box.

having owned the dreambox 7000 before, it is just as good and now after lots of software changes it is running very stable with var moved to PC Recording to HD via LAN and set up for CS on satellite and AU on Cable.

For a box that cost me ?99 delivered I think it is excellent compared to the DM 7000 that cost double the price.

But even original Dreamboxes can have problems, i have heard of many genuine 800s being sent back as faulty.

heard good and bad about these,, had mine around 7-8 months, after a few teething problems (my fault) i have to say its been faultless, yet to try the sat side, but the reason i went for it was when it all goes tits up at least il still be able to use it for sat,, when i get a dish!, all in all for a ?100 what do you want?
