Guys , I just want to tell you that I bought a few dreambox pvr 800 clones from Tony "Yaxonin" in china.
One of the boxes was faulty. He told me to send it back to him, I did. After waiting about 2 weeks he told me he hadnt recieved the box.
Luckily for me I had registered it and after checking it I was informed that he had recieved it and it was signed for by the adresee. When I told him this, he told me that "it must have been stolen".
I waited another couple of weeks on a few promises from him that he was sorting it out. Then he told me that he had posted out my new replacement box. I waited almost a month with no arrival of said box. So I lost the rag and told him that I was going to report this transaction to paypal. When I checked this out, it seems that I couldnt open a paypal dispute as I had sent the money as "a gift" this was what he had asked me to do.
So then I informed him that if I didnt recieve the box I was going to post on all the sat forums about this transaction. Then he told me to wait until he checked.
Then he told me his colleague had forgot to post the box back to me, but he had sent it that day. A week later the "New Replacement box arrived" .It was the same box as I had marked a badge on the back of it, it was the same box repaired. It is working fine, but it cost me extra as I had to post it back to China, and I also had to wait almost 3 months after paying for it to get the working item. So if your thinking of purchasing from China direct, well bear this in mind.

exactly spot on, if buying 1 or 2 box better to pay little extra uk supplier and if any problems will be sorted quick

See I wouldnt touch Yaoxin with a barge pole. I once ordered 5 receivers off them and 4 out of 5 were faulty. If it had been one I may have came to the conclusion that everybody makes a mistake from time to time but four out of five is totally unacceptable!

I use L&W and have purchased a hell of a lot of receivers from them and never had a single faulty receiver. I have ordered single receivers and bulk orders service is always superb and quality is always superb. I will always return to Ruby at L&W for Dream clone receivers as I know they will never let me down I have 110% faith in them.

I would not advice people not to buy from China if it is only one receiver but the advice I would give is find out about who you are getting it from ask and look around. Yes there is people saying Yaoxin are fantastic but rather than take there word search and you will find many a thread or post here and elsewhere regarding faulty receivers.

Also if you look at what L&W sell it is not everything under the sun it is mainly receivers they focus on.

I really do not think it is fair to hit every clone manufacture over in China with the same brush due to a bad experience with one of them. Some do a excellent job and put good quality work in to them others fling them together.

He asked you to pay it as gift? I sure as hell would have told him were to go right there and then!

When I order from Ruby at L&W I tell her my order, she sends me a PayPal invoice and I pay it.

Good info i will take in, didnt no it meant a diffrence paying as a gift, So what thediffrence in prices from uk & china, I know in bulk would be cheaper, but to buy 1 box what's the price from china ?

You will save around ?50 per box on either the dm800 pro or dm800SE when buying direct from China.

A dm800pro is about ?100 delivered, against ?150 in the UK, and a dm800SE is about ?150 delivered, against ?200 in the UK.
