    I have this one working on my Dm800 under the Dream Elite Phoenix image .
    Digital TV HDTV DVB-T USB Stick Dongle Tuner Recorder Receiver - BuyinCoins.com
    Its just over 5 euro delivered and uses the Afatech 9015 chipset which is the same as that in the Avermedia Volar tuner which costs over ?30.
    I cannot fault it so far.

      Probably a silly question about this dvb-t dongle but do you just connect it to your DM800 and watch tv that way, do you know if that would work on other boxes, Openbox S9, Dreambox 500s for example, as I dont think my telly has a usb port, sorry for the questions but I'm not very technically minded.

        Only works with dm800.
        Plug it into usb port and load drivers via blue button (dream elite image).
        You now have a 2nd tuner in system settings, run a scan and channels get added to existing satellite lists under "Terrestrial"

            Mpeg is essentially a compression algorithm ,its decoded in software not hardware .
            The Dm800 handles the decoding not the usb tuner .
            As long as its a DVB-t tuner it will work.

              Hi fano, how's it going.
              Do you have a reliable link to this image and does the download panel work.

              Cheers,

                Hi guys,
                Just received the above mentioned tuner, have to say works pretty well, hooked it up to the dm800, downloaded the drivers done a scan and brought in all the Irish channels.
                The only snag I have is when I unplug the box and plug it in again the tuner loses connection and I have to unplug tuner and plug it in again and reactivate it in tuner panel.
                Don't like to leave the box in standby at night due to heat issues.
                @ Fano, is there a fix for this or some kind of work around.
                Cheers,
                bugsy.

                      Thanks for the replies guys.
                      I have to try and work something out, the missus is driving me mad about the Irish channels.

                        Finally got it sorted, Manually installed the drivers from the free dreambox images site, everything working sweet and no more ear bashing from the missus.

                          I am thinking of buying this one from within the UK.

                          It seems to be the same as yours. I have a clone DM 800 on Enigma 2 and would like to use it as a 2nd tuner so I can record one program while watching another.

                          Would you be able to post the LINUX drivers for this?
