yea but at the end of the day he should be atleast polite and cooperative towards a customer..

you may know him and he acts different to you, but my first impressions were not great and that is important, and then you hear other stuff

i will give him the benefit of the doubt and hope i don't need to contact him regarding mine

[cauliflower69]

I have no dealings with the man but customer service is key to future business in my opinion.

update well the box has been sent to Dream Multimedia to be looked at sent 21/02/09
to re-cap
got dm8000 one screw half out at the back one screw forced in at the back the dm8000 was not booting sometimes thougt it was me but was trying diff images then 4 days later my dvb-c turner card came open the box to see the chip and motherboard looked burnt (see pic) email sms i told them about it and said want a replacement -reply everyone is happy with there dm8000? again email them -reply take chip out send it to Dream Multimedia ?-email them again -reply send box to Dream Multimedia? last email to them informed trading standards about this -email back from sms- There is no need to jump the gun?
asked Dream Multimedia to check if this is a beta dm8000 or not while they check it !! at the end of the day if you buy something and not happy you get a re-fund mine was not up to the mark
asked for the cost of sending it to Dream Multimedia i bet he fell of his chair while counting money

[techmob]

so it cost you to send it to dream, how much?

how quick did dream respond to you, because everytime i have contacted them, i never seem to get a response

i have actually emailed them regarding a problem i have with my dm800 bought from sms, i have not bothered contacted him yet as i can imagine him trying any excuse not to swap it as the box functions fine other than this one problem

problem being i cannot get it to flash while in PRESS STOP DHCP MODE, or even signing a static ip to it, it wont flash via browser, only way is serial

the other dm800 i got from him flashes fine via browser

so you can imagine he wont be very helpful like some other sellers out there

Oops.. I just ordered an 800HD from them and it's supposed to be dispatched tomorrow by parcelforce..
I have booked a day off thursday in anticipation of going to the local parcelforce depot and collecting it...
If it hasn't shown by then I will be a bit upset to say the least. I also got a good price to add in the cable tuner module. No other official distributors seem to be holdnig 800's at the moment so choice of my source was limited..
I'll keep y'all posted..

Stock expected soon

Hi all,
Like your good selves i too have been hunting around for a DM800 (not clone) and emailed Satstore last week regarding stock.

The response was that stock was expected by the latter half of this week (w /c 23/02).

We shall wait and see , Hope this helps.

satstore is a good bit more expensive than others

399.00 GBP

=

454.595 EUR

compared to hm-sat.de that shows 429.

I know that shipping is a factor but the base price is 25 euro in the difference.

I brought my dm600 from satstore and never had any hassle. If I was going to buy a dm800 I don't think I could trust anyone other than satstore.

His name is Mark Hemmings nice bloke. I talked him into giving me a discount for my dm600 for being a DW member and saved a few quid on delivery as well by picking up the box.

got my dm7025 from satstore about 3 years ago worked like a charm very helpful and answers emails toooooo shame they never had the dm8000 in
