Hi people.
I know this has probably been asked many time BUT i am just seeing if there is any new/fresh ideas on this debate.
My issue is I have a SAGEM dbox2 that i have had for over 12 months now and in the last month or so i have been getting amazing problems with the box. Things like:
Freezing of picture
EPG being lost every 5 mins
Chirping on most channels like Sk Sports (never on FTA stuff)
Locking up totally of box so have to be switched off
Black screen but Audio ok.
I have tried various stuff that has been mentioned on here like,
1) Unplug modem from inside box
2) change UCODES and CAMS
3) Changed Images (tried Federation, Commando, Sportster, DW UK, Pacino and possibly a few others)
4) Tried another box i bought for a friend and it worked fine for 1 week (gave it them after the 7 days testing )
5) Took this box to my outlaws and tested it there and it does the same
So i have finally given up and conceded that my 12 months old and very much used dbox2 is KNACKERED! (Unless theres anything else you can think of I could try!)
So (back to the point of this thread), do I purchase another DBOX2 (?80ish) or go for a DREAMBOX (?120ish I think)?
Are the Dreamboxes as easy to install and configure as a DBOX2? are they more stable? are they MILES better or just slightly better? ( I think you get my drift now on the questions )
Any points of view for or against either box will be taken with respect before i make my decision (all your views are wanted - pro or amateur on either box)
All the best
