    You can't buy a genuine 500 anymore, they don't make them.
    You can buy a genuine 600 but i personally think theres no difference between clone and original. Just don't flash a clone with the Gemini image.

    THE TRUTH
    The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

    Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
    The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

        ALL of the images are good but the Gemini image is bad for clones.

              Why bother with getting a clone dm500s, when you can get a original Technomate Tm500/600 instead. I have a dm500s & a Tm600 to mess about with, and i have to say the Tm600 is a better machine by a long way. The build quality of the Tehnomate is fantastic compared to the dm500s. It looks far better with its " piano black front " and the picture is a lot clearer...You also get a RF output on the Technomate so you can connect it to a distribution amplifier and then send it all over the house ( whch is what i have done ) Also the remote control for the Tm600 is a better built device. There is a lot of support for the Dreambox compared to the Technomate, and that is the only good thing it has between the 2 boxes. You can get a Tm600 for about ?80 from ebay, and in my opinion its the better buy.

                The dreambox is the better box IMO.

                You can still get original D500's, but whats the point when you can get a DM500 clone for ?40.

                  Not a new one you can't. Only second hand.

                        Not a new 500 you can't because they've stopped making them like i said.

                          mate.. you cant still buy a brand new DM500S.. they haven't been made for over two years.. all original stock sold out years ago..

                          the D500 was superseded by the DM500+ and that in turn was superseded by the DM600..

                            TM600 is far better than dm50 and eagle and I have had them all.

                              Hardware wise it may be better but software wise its inferior.
                              Has it sorted out the pvr issues it was having and does it handle the new white Sky cards using cccam ?
                              Does it handle cs as well as a DM500 ?
                              If it has then it would be a good buy.
