Hi guys,
I'd like to change my Sat decoder. Now I got a Head SD2700 BP+Astra and Hotbird like Satellites, that I cannot get any encryped channels (especially French Channels).
I like the DREAMBOX , but I prefer a HD model, so I'm thinkin'about the Dreambox 800 HD PVR.
I'm wonderin' if this model is "enought Patch-able", I mean, if here (or other best sat-web-sites)I can find the "right keys or the rights firmwares"to get encrypted channels...??I see that is very easy (with any kind of connections, like 2 USB port+LAN)insert any files to the rear of this Dreambox HD model, isn't it??
So what do U think of my choice??Is it the best HD Dreambox "patch-able" on sale now or not?
Otherwise, which is the best"alternative"for me...??
Thank's a lot in advance!!

Keys on a Dreambox of any sort will not clear you much.

It is the Emu that give you more Research CCcam and you'll get a feel for what the 800 can do with this emu.

Ok, thank U Ferret, so:which model of Dreambox HD do U suggest to me???

Theres only two for a reasonable price the dm500HD or dm800HD, if you have enough money the 8000HD is the best.

The DM800 is good if you want an internal HDD. If you dont want this then you should go for the DM500HD because it has a faster processor.

There are alternatives to Dreambox but these are not supported as much. The best alternative is the vu+ duo because it can run the same software as dreambox but it is much cheaper than the DM8000HD. It has two tuners and its a pvr.

Well said mate. Not much more to add.

But i will recommend the VU Duo over a DM800! If the 800 is a genuine one then the price is the same. A 800 clone is cheaper obviously.

A DM500HD has a slightly slower CPU than the VU Duo but lacks loads of features compared to the VU. But its around £100 cheaper then the VU.
