That's all fine and well if you have had box for 4 years or so but what about people who have only had box for 6 months for them it's harder to except that they have spent 860.00 on dm8000 and then cheaper 702ohd omes out cheaper with faster processer and then dm8000 and then production stops of dm8000hd
I think this is unexceptable and I ould like to collect and return upgrade
Collect and return idea is nice, of course, naveed68
, but I don´t know any company selling electronic consumer market devices on such a base. Devices all get oldfashioned too soon.
(
It could be a good idea and perhaps protecting nature, too, when only those parts get renewed, which need update and the rest can be used until it busts.)
Be happy with dm8000, it gives you more than most other boxes do (Even 7020HD: Only 2 tuners, no disc writer, unicable only with 2 cables + splitter / but it has HDMI-CEC what 8000HD hasn´t got.)
It always causes bad feelings, when we buy a device and its successor gets available soon after.
Maybe this is one reason, too, why DMM decided not to produce/sell dm8000´s any more. Just imagine the uproar in sat community all over the world, if people buy a DM8000HD e.g. in january and Goliath gets available e.g. in february at a comparable price. Can you imagine, how much you and all other customers would curse DMM then?
I suppose Goliath won´t come earlier than sometime next year - would be surprised, if this year, already (well, let´s wait and see). Until then we all will have had lot of fun with our 8000 boxes.
I even ordered new discwriters for my dm8000´s (got delivered 5 mins ago) and I´ll attach them the next days. So I hope my box goes on living for some more time.
The 8000 can do so much already:thum:, I´m not disappointed with it at all. Goliath must be a big lot better than my 8000, before I would buy one.
Let´s be happy with the good things we possess, we don´t know what we may get in future.
I wish you always fun and many happy hours with your own DM8000HD, naveed68:thum:.
P.S.: Holographic beamer we may get one day, naveed68 - but that´s off topic here - this is "DM8000 Production shut down" thread. But perhaps a nice idea
, if you open new thread "Future Technology", where we can all discuss what will come, may come or we would like to come.
