What is the best all round box to buy these days for quality and back up, i am looking to buy but have concerns over last years incident with dm500 and gemini locking boxes out

If you had an original dreambox than it would have been no problem with gemini images. You might find it easier to decide which box suits you best if post what you want to be able to do with your box rather asking for a blank recommendation.

ok , its just for second room usage, not interested in gadgets or pvr

clone or not it was an independent group who done that with no real finacial gain out of it, what will they do next lock out the 600's because THEY feel people should be buying the 800/8000's

It really depends on what your intentions are.

If it's solely so watch tv and nothing else, Eurovoxmax v 2008 or Kryptview Starview thebox are the simplest boxes. They don't require any cards or any knowledge of the internals of the firmware.

If you want to have your box connected to the internet, stream movies from your PC to your TV, record to a network attached storage, stream mp3s from your PC to your TV, etc. etc. then get a dreambox. The 600-PVR is probably the better model but the 500 will do just as good a job and there are more images (firmware) available for you to play with.
