I am probably completely missing the point here as you guys are all excited about this box. This box has switch which you need to flick to go from one tuner to another but wouldn't you be better off having two DM500 next to each other and get the same result for the same price especially if you brought them fom China? Also on the satellite side if you decide to get into the CS side than your cable viewing will impede CS of your satellite box because your satellite box will be offline. Another point is that I think it is great to have two tuners but unlike the Dm7025 you cannot watch one channel and record another. Sorry guys not trying to be negative about this box but I just cannot see the same benefits as you guys.

There are a few benefits comapred to a standard 500,

1) There are 2 scarts so u can connect vcr/dvd recorder to it (not a biggy but its there)

2) The open media can safely drive a motorised system, Its not recommended that a motorised system should be connected to a normal DM500 as it runs of a 12v 1 amp power pack.

3) It has the ch+ / ch - controls (not a biggy but its there)

4) Its 2 box's in 1 (Originally we thought of having interchangeable tuners, like the 600 but decided to have them in 1 unit) The main idea is if the cable scene went tits up then your not left with a door stop.

5) for the rrp of ?110 - ?115 + pnp, its not a bad bit of kit, yes the 7025 is the dogs bollocks but u get what u pay for, plus theres more images available for the 500 then the 7025.

6) Not every one is comfortable ordering a box from china, if u have a problem or need to send it back then you probably end up paying more in return pnp etc.

We all know that u can get clones for all box's from china, inc Eurovox, starview 3 and dream 500 / 600 for under half the rrp price, but like I said not every 1 wants to go down that route.

[Jocky666]

Benefits??

Guys I'm new to sat though have been around the cable scene for a while and am well aware of the capabilities of obtaining channels etc. from VM!
However I have no Idea of what I can find via satelite i.e. Sly channels racetech feeds etc.
I had a look a a system a while back as the race tech feeds aren't all encrypted though you need a sysrem capable of transverse?? Tracking (I think its transverse but I'm not sure LOL..

So come on guys why would I take up satellite instead of or along side VM??
