yes will do, but i have found some 500s struggle to move dish, the ?40 to ?50 ones are shite, basically if i bought 10 say, on average, 2 would be ready for bin, either shite tuners or doa. use another type now.

what linux based receiver would you recommend something thats fairly easy instead of the dm500s then as sat boxes are new to me since i used dbox's b4

Maybe dm800, this is HD and is future proof i guess. Can be picked up at around ?200 from the UK, if thats too much then you can get for cheaper from china. If you want to stay SD, look at the DM600, it has PVR. well they both do

i agree to jack,if you want to buy dm800hd,i know where to buy from china

When people say china you do know you can be liable for customs charges, so overall you may wait a week get at around ?160 but then 3 weeks later you may get a invoice from DHL for customs charges so beware, + in uk you can get next day delivery so weight up your options and choose what's best for you..

Buy a Wave Toroidal and a diseq switch !!! You wont regret it !!!

Buying from china you do run the risk of custom and high postage to china if something goes tits up. Its up to you were you buy from. Theres a ?30 difference between uk and china but delivery to china for repairs is ?30. Think about if thoroughly before you do order a box

i agree with this, this is because the pound is so week against dollar. 3 years ago there were big savings, but now for the sake of saving ?20 to ?30 and finding you end up with a bit of scrap, not worth it, unless your looking at bringing big numbers in, then you may afford a hit, in this climate i buy from uk, and get warranty. be warned dont penny pinch.
