    Thinking about buying a dreambox and need help!!

    Hi, I've been using eurovox cables boxes for 3 years now but obvioulsy, can't use it anymore. I'm thinking about buying a dreambox howver, i know next to nothing about. My mate has one and says he gets all channels. He's mentioned something about connecting to the internet to work. Can anyone advise on dreamboxes, how they work and the best place where i can get one and will i be able to recieve all sky channels? Thanks

    PS, Also do they do HD boxes?

        I was set to say that is massivly overpriced...

        But read it comes with a years free c/s

        I bet the server he runs is overloaded if he can manage that deal.

        I would avoid.

              if your going for the dm800 make sure its rev m, as this has a new tuner , which stops glitching on hd channels

                Yes that the old version, if you buying a dm800 make sure you get the dm800pro it's the new version witch works flawlessly

                              Its does say M in the info, but sure the box should have dm80pro to the left of the barcode. maybe just used an old picture. very good price if its the m tuner but as opsmonkey said, ukdreamshop are very good if you have any problems
