Any dm8000 clone reviews ?

[keymaster]

Hi
the first "beta" dm8000 clones were a bit shonky, case was well out, side panels were naff- but it worked...then the production ones were kewl - now the one and only factory that makes them ran out of oleds and not due in till october - due to pressure from punters they kept production going using LCD and selling them a tad cheaper. Almost everyody I know of selling them at minute is selling LCD version - great receiver and worth every penny ( imho) but not OLED (beware of liars (especially chinese resellers) who say theirs are OLED if they are then whoever selling them doesnt sell many, OLED ones due back in october but probably shoot up again to around the half price mark...as other poster says Vu+ duo worth a mention but in my DM8000 i stuck in dvd burner and stuff (just because i could) and I love it (in a non sexual way). hope this helps

DMM are good machines but vastly overpriced imo.

The cost of them isn't to do with the 'quality parts', it's to do with pure fcuking greed.

I'm sure the VU+ Duo will wipe it's arse with the DM8000 on sales.

Just trying to convince the Mrs we NEED a dm8000 , and wondered if any members have one , read some good things about them on other forums , and wondered if any one has one , and whats their verdict ?

Have read elsewhere that they are made in same factory as genuine , and are exactly same spec / quality standards other than the sim , not sure if this is spin just sell more boxes ?

Any opinion good or bad welcome , TIA

for the money vu+ duo wins hands down why buy a dm8000 clone for same price..

[firestorm]

buying a clone is always going to have risk involved with them first they all come from china and the returns policy to china is iffy to say the least.Then if you buy direct from china you may also be hit with customs charges.All genuine dreambox have been tested to eu standers of safety and with all dreamboxs to get the best out of them you need to leave them running/standby 24/7 so you may be asleeep or out of the house you want peace of mind that your box is not going to catch fire.Then a few years back dream multimedia along with gemini manged to brick a lot of clones rendering them useless till a jtag fix came out to bring them back to life this could happen again at any time

My clone from DVBseller is ok but wont move the motor
more often than not, i sent it back to them in the box
and they returned it wrapped in bubble wrap with a
broken flip on the front and a chip on one of the corners.

They refused me another or even a new front panel saying they would supply one on my next order
pure conmen.

On the few occasions it moves it picture quality
was good as was sound but my messing around
waiting then getting it back damaged has p-----
me off.
You get what u pay for.

Hi
Can I just say this wasnt me, but DVBseller, I am uk based and Duty has been paid on my boxes, I too like the vu+ box, I am also an enthusiast...but whatever receiver you buy will probably be built in china - the protection you get is from UK person you buy from, they are responsible for your warrenty. I carry spare parts and am a registered business in UK paying UK taxes - this is why I am more expensive than buying from china.
i give some discount to Kaos members as I too am a sat geek and love the scene, but the taxman demands I make a few quid.
best wishes
