VU+ duo is a better purchase imho! why be fake with clones when there is a box such as the vu+ duo out for the same price, if not lower price tag

[smirnoff_rules]

l hear the tuner is digital on these and alot less freezing that a 500 is that right

[gsmtech]

DM8000 are higher spec than VU Duo though..support for 4 tuners, built in WIFI, DVD drive can be installed, SPDIF output, built in flash card readers etc..

[sossybaby]

If your will to buy a dm8000 you'll be much better off with a vu duo, as new models of dreamboxs are being released and dm8000 images will eventually stop, with vu duo you have a very good box and good support from the vix team and many others..

my advice is why waste you money on a clone when you can get a good built vu duo

do you own a dm8000 clone.

the vu duo aint perfect.


- Different hardware not compatible with DM addon hardware (Tuners etc).
- No extra slots for Tuner boards (on DM8000 we have 2 more).
- 2 CI, instead of the 4 CI on the DM8000...
- HDMI port and not DVI (Remember HDMI specifications on blocking recording !).
- Not possible to put internally a DVD player/burner.
- DiSEqC problems with external positioner. (comfirmed by martin pipe in the wotsat test so must be true).
- No blind search.
- No standby button.
- No widely support as for DM8000 with many images.
- looks like johnny five.
- no cf reader.
- no sd reader.

i could go on.

dreambox.me.uk is a good site as is ukdreamshop.co.uk, just be wary of some sites mate.. there is a lot of info here about who to avoid

how come dreambox.me.uk is selling dm518s near half the price of ukdreamshop.co.uk?

ok so i would be better getting the dearer one to make sure quality is better and not china one

[bubbles69]

well its always advised to get from a reputable seller i.e that delivers from uk next day and if any problems its only ?5 to return unlike 30 quid to china etc, you you must be careful many rouge sellers out there..!!

Has anyone used Dreambox.me.uk, Best Prices on Dreambox and CCTV the prices seem a bit too good, without postage of course.

I typed in linuxsat and like others here I got the above website.

do you own a dm8000 clone.

- DiSEqC problems with external positioner. (comfirmed by martin pipe in the wotsat test so must be true).

Just to be clear on this one his statement in the review about the external positioner was 100% incorrect, we supplied the receiver to What Satellite for the test... The bottom line is he didn't know how to set the image up for use with an external positioner such as a V-Box, once I'd pointed him in the right direction of instructions it worked perfectly as I'm sure he'd be happy to confirm, unfortunately the review had already gone to print by then as it was a real tight deadline.
