Where to Buy Dreambox?

[cuongzi]

Hi all,
Hope you all had a great Christmas.

I'm a complete noob & I've finally decided to take the plunge and invest in a sat Dreambox. After reading a few threads it will be either an Original 500s or Clone 600s as i'm on a budget.

I basically want to cardshare. Am i right in thinking the the above boxes are ok?

I'd be grateful if anyone can send me any link(s) to a reputable dealer where I can purchase a dreambox. I am from the UK.

I wanna buy one asap and get cracking...

Both the 500 and 600 will be fine for sharing.

Why not try one of the Digital Kaos sponsors as they offer discounts to members.

thanks for the reply. Forgive my ignorance but I cant seem to see any links from th sponsors? Do you mean the "ads by google" bit?

can you program a config file in linux..? If not STOP do not buy a dreambox.. Learn about it first..

This site is littered with people who have bought a linux box to cardshare and then found they have wasted their money as it requires computer programing..

The Dreambox is a standalone computer that requires programing, you will get nothing on it if you cant speak linux..

You have to do a lot of things outside your dreambox before it will work..

Create a static IP
Port Forward your Router
Configure home network

The dreambox is not plug and play on satellite

Thanks for your advice.

I understand the Dreambox is not plug and play but i've got a little bit of programming experience from uni and also I think the guides are really helpful.

Can anyone re-commend where I can get a dreambox. I think I've clicked on the sponsors who seem to be dvbmonkey but there seems mixed reviews on these guys.

Cheers

i have a 500+s real one comes with an adsl modem in it as well its from the main uk dealer they cost 169 to buy if the site dont mind me post this hear pm me and ill let you know how much

You will get best customer service from a Dream approved seller, i.e Satstore.co.uk, dreamboxshop.co.uk.

If you want to risk buying from china, buy from dvbseller.com. dvbmonkey.com have a reputation of having to wait 3-4 weeks for your receiver.

As always, google will get you loads of sellers.

very happy with my 500 i bought from dvbmonkey i think it was like 80 euro delivered.

Best purchase yet and now to order the 800 (original though)

No one needs to program anything.

All the needs done is a simple edit to a configuration file which can be done on Windows or any other OS, the edits are only server details and login details.

This site is littered with people who have bought a linux box to cardshare and then found they have wasted their money as it requires computer programing..

Absolutely ZERO programming skills are needed to setup a dreambox on satellite, if you can read/write and use notepad in Windows you're laughing.

The Dreambox is a standalone computer that requires programing, you will get nothing on it if you cant speak linux..

Completely untrue.

Create a static IP

This takes seconds to do and has nothing whatsoever to do with Linux.

Port Forward your Router

Not always necessary,my router handles my Dreambox no problem without any manual forwarding settings.

Configure home network

All these things are extremely basic things that can be setup in minutes.

[cauliflower69]

would of bought it to at that price

[cuongzi]

Thanks for the reply guys, much appreciated!

I think I'll go for a clone box from dvbseller as I'm on a budget. Will let you know how it goes.

Have a good New Years everyone!!
