        If your only saving about 10-15 quid I think if it were me I would buy it from a well know outlet online in the UK (if you have any issues its not going to cost much to return).

        They could be selling realy crap clone receivers .... catching people out ... and then switch off the website when they make enough money or just change the domain name and catch out another bunch of wallys.....be careful....

          Yea, just checked them and I would say a big BEWARE them. New site, which is only started to advertise on google and I dont know anyone either who has bought from them.

          Play it save and use a reputible reseller. Personally I use Buy DreamBox 500S, DreamBox 500S, Dream Box 500S, Dream Box Satellite, Dreambox

          Been using them for over 6 months now as many others here. But there are many others with good reviews on these forums.

            Isnt it that everything has a start point? Ebay started as untrustworth, so was google , yahoo, etc. While caution must be taken, sometimes we miss out on bargains with these newly established websites. Besides you pay by paypal and if you feel cheated you can always get every penny of your money back.

            Have seen a website in hong kong selling Dm500 for ?30 if you but 100 at a go

                Their Google ad is showing the Eurovox MAX V for ?69.99 - these haven't been made for a Year, so are either very old stock, re-cons or most likely, Clones

                        I should have checked this earlier, but for better or worse, i have purchased a 500c today from Farango.

                        I will post any info as soon as I have it. 2/3 day delivery, so hopefully Wed/Thurs arrival.
