The set top box supplies the power mate, so no additional power supply. And yes you will be able to watch 3pm kick off with cs

We was all like you at one stage mate,if you stick around read a few posts and get some friendly help can set you up no problem.
Personally if your after hd buy a Dreambox 800hd,can buy one from China for just over 100 quid and lots of support on here.

Hi andy 91 any idea how much id pay to get a dreambox 800 hd clone with 320 or 500 gb hardrive? And also do the newer models have that rev m built so its glitch free? im reading things but seem to be going in circles. any advice greatly appreciated thanks.

[andy91]

If you buy a Dreamboix800hd get the Pro version with the M 801A Tuner,from China your looking at 110 quid delivered.
I would buy a sata hard drive from UK.

Andy's right. Buy the hard drive from the uk, hard drives are pretty cheap nowadays. Personally I would use external hard drive as the dreambox already hot enough. Go to hotukdeals > computers u should see loads of hard drives

By the 500gb not much space if u going to record in HD
