    Dm500 or Dm800se

    Im after buying one of these little babies but what is the better box? dm500hd or the dm800hd se?

    I have a skybox f3 at the moment and now looking at moving to a better box, I know alot of these are clones but good clones, whats the difference between them both?

    SAT RECEIVER CHOICE

    Dreambox 800HD is a much better sat receiver but make sure you get the DN with the latest DM800 HD PRO ALPS M (801-A) tuner

    You can purchase DM800 from abroad including China or have a look here: Wholesale dm800 hd - Buy Low Price dm800 hd Lots on Aliexpress.com

    Amazon, eBay also is a good place to shop

    Skybox F3 is Just as good expect it does not have the same support as the Dreambox

    DM500HD tend to have tuner problems

        The 500HD and the 800se both use the same chipset BCM 7405, the difference you pointed out though still make it a better buy than the 500

          Thanks for the good advice guys!!!

          Im still finding it hard hunting round for a good place to buy and exactly which box (type) to buy, ebay seems expensive, amazon have very little and the china sites seem to have a long delivery time?

          Any one suggest a good site in this country and the exact box to go for at the best price?

          Sorry for all the questions

              For the DM800se delivered ?135 around 218 dollars far better value than the site quoted above and that includes delivery.

                Cheers digicon, you have twisted my arm, i will buy from there what you suggested!!

                Ok im still in 2 minds about the 2 boxes:

                1. DM800HDPro Sat M Tuner Simcard 2.10
                2. DM800HD SE Sat Version


                I think that the dm800hd se is faster but the other has the better tuner.

                Which one shall i get?

                  Always go with the better tuner it will make a big difference when using your dreambox e.g. signal quality

                    The Tuner is better in the 800se as the only reason they changed it in the 800 was because originally it was crap, they dont have the same problem with the DM800se Sim 2.10

                          The one i originally quoted in my post goto nextbay.cn and click in the online shop bit top right hand corner, Pay in Dollars for the better exchange rate.

                            Going to order this weekend from Nextbay.

                            Has anybody else used these successfully?

                            How long does it take to arrive?

                              They send you a Tracking Number anything between 5-7 days
