Better than ever: the Dreambox is back!

DM520 for DVB-S2/C/T2 (H.265 support) and IP

The Dreambox makes its return with the compact DM520 model, setting new standards with a modern design as well as technical features on the highest level. The DM520 comes equipped with either a Single-DVB-S2 tuner or with a DVB-C/T2 tuner. The new HDTV Dreambox supports the H.265 video standard, which is required for the reception of DVB-T2 signals in Germany as well as in many other countries. Both the attractive price of only 139 Euros (RRP) as well as the potential performance of the DM520 have ensured the market has paid close attention to this new launch.

better than ever? As a sat reciever it offers nothing new.

H265 decoding @ HD res only. Surely they must have a UHD spec'd reciever ready to drop or is this a final cash grab before the go under?

Can it deal with high SR like 43200, does it come with a hard drive, can I connect an external one?

I would not say Dream are back they are trying to flog a dead horse.

They ripped us off with sky high prices for years then tried to claim linux based software as their own and failed.

Would take something really special and competitively priced for me even look at their recivers again.

Like ns3 :-D, but seriously i love mt DM800 except the tuner dosent go above 30000 in SR which is a huge let down for the price, but it has served me well and still is.

I had a genuine DM 7000 and 8000, then I changed to a Vu+ Duo2
the Vu is 100% better, its that good I'm waiting for the Ultimo 4k that I hope will be in the shops in October!

Hi,

Telnet/Putty look File-Attachment

voyger:
How to get into rescue mode the 520HD?


To get into the rescue mode of the 520HD must proceed as follows:
1. Box using the power switch on the back turn
2. Shortly after turning the finger front place on the power button and hold it down. The LED flashes briefly in different colors. If it turns solid red one is in rescue mode.
3. In the browser enter the IP address and you're in rescue mode and the box can as usual flash
4. On the TV / screen that you are in rescue mode
