    Customs duty is hardly anything as items are marked low value gift, for example few months ago I got 3 x DM800HD clones from China at around 122 quid = 364 delivered, 9 quid import tax = 373 quid all in.

    Uk Dreamshop prices would have been 180 x 3 = 540. So I saved myself 176 quid...In real terms I got a DM800HD free and money left Spare for a DM500...and still some change !

    So China wins on small quantities.
    buying uk has other advantage , if your clone from china goes thru london heathrow and customs decide to inspect , then its game over , they have a big bonny every week of clones , mine still smokin

      or if you plan to buy 20 or 30 china would be best as after your shipping and customs fees it still works out good
      agreed, ukdreamshop is a very reputable trader and has excellent after sales support. plus he's a moderator on BI6MCC's forum DBUK.

        What if you buy via AliExpress and use escrow protecion. i.e: they dont release the cash to he seller unless you confirm the item has been recieved.

        I've had a couple of orders insspected via Birmigham BHX and Coventry, with no issues. Last order went through Heathrpw but didnt get inspected.

        I suppose there is always that extra bit of risk of though, ordering from China..but it's a calculated risk, your probbaly very unlucky if you order a single reciever and have it siezed by customs.

        Not heard of many cases of this happening on small orders.

          Is it good deal for about ?128 delivered from UK seller? A seller on ebay sells for about that much but it says it's Rev:L tuner.

          What is the difference between Rev:L and M and is it worth buying Rev:L tuner?

            Good price for UK supplier, Rev L tuner suffers from HD channel glitching problems though, and if the reciever has a L3 tuner, it will be the older non PRO version of the clone, which means it's old stock.

            Probabbaly best to avoid and go for something with a Rev M tuner.

              well put... and here's a picture to go with that



              as you can see there is a difference in motherboard style with an extra chip and more capacitors. All in all, looks like the rev m tuner has been thought through well and has a noticeable difference when viewing HD channels.

                Hello

                For those who have bought a clone, I was wondering if you got a SATA power/data cable with your box? I ordered one from UKDreamshop, and wasn't sure if I would need to order a cable or not

                Cheers

                    Thanks! Will not worry then. I know from previous experience, the time you expect cables to be in there, they never are and you have failed to order one. Other times you order one in advance, and then they have sent you one .

                        Most shipments of up to 4 units come thru west midlands airport. Any larger orders go thru Heathrow and risk customs checks . Dhl have a warehouse there and customs have free reign

                              I got my dm800se from here:http://www.anandasy.com/products.asp?cid=167 and got it in 3 days my brother got one last week,both came in via midlands airport.I think the prices have come down a little as well due to the new boxes been released.The new price for the dm800se works out including delivery at around ?144. If you need contact details let me know,hope this helps.

                                Thats why your better getting larger deliveries using EMS shipping from supplier, come in uk via parcelforce and RVERY RARELY ant checks or customs
