Hi,

Is this box ok for c**d sharing on of more like card leeching at my end cos if it does am thinking of getting into sat side as well.

Thanks

There is no plans for HD at the moment for the current model as the HD processor is a little pricey and will increase the price by quite a bit.

Would that be an increase upto the price of a DM 800?

Thanks

Yes mate it is the same pic quality as the 500c, in fact its based on the 500c and the 500s, so all images for those will work on this.

Got mine but no sooner did I receive it than I gave it away as my satellite setup means its wasted on me at the present. Nice piece of kit though. Guy who owns it now is a total tech head and will no doubt come up with all sorts of questions for me soon to which I don't know the answer. Meh .....

ok bit of help here please,have installed dish with motor and tested it it runs from south to west np and south east np (manualy)i have dk image on it and when i tell it to go to thor it turns then goes back to the zero position?the bracket it plumb on every way and am sure ive put in the correct settings for lat/long Lat: 56:00:37N (56.01031)
Lon: 3:42:37W (-3.71039)

Thor is on 0.8W so from the looks of it seems to be doing what is supposed to do. Looking at your second picture I think your dish is pointing to high towards the sky. Try lowering it towards the groun d a little and then move it half an inch manually side to side very very slowly to see if the signal rises or drops when it is BBC World, Thor. Might be best to get the wife to shout out whilst you move the dish.

Has anybody tried recording to pc with this box yet?
Was just wondering if its any better then the DM500c for this as that was one of the annoying faults of the DM.

[Curious123]

This box is a clone dreambox so you put on the updates that go with the dreambox and nothing whatsoever like the eurovox.

You need to remove the power, flick the switch to sat and then re apply the power.

Also when in sat mode you need to set up your sat configuration. What image are you using for the sat side?
