Well I amazed! It says it is a genuine Dreambox. Just incase anyone is interested, the plugin just gives you a number you put in on their website.When you type it in, it gives you the serial number , MAC and date of manufacture that are supposed to match the ones on the box. All 3 matched, so unless the cloners have cloned everything, mines genuine.Not 100% sure but i doubt it. If you go on the DMM site you used to be able to check your 800 with the mac address and serial number. Take a look that might still be available.
I tried several images last night Oozoon, Peterpan and Newnigma2, but thought non were a patch on my dream elite image, so ended up going back and doing a fresh install of the latest version of that ( dated June) At least their server is back up for the plugins, and their website hints they are coming back ( says in cooperation with the full support of Dream multimedia)So maybe their will be a new image soon.
Thanks again for all your help guys
