I have cable DM600 and I am thinking buying a second dreambox but couldn't really justify spending another £200 buying DM600S for a satellite tv so I was thinking of buying a DM500S clone and swapping round the tuners. I have feeling that you probably can't remove the DM500 tuner from the box. Does anyone know if this would work, would the two tuners be compatible between the two boxes?

They are not compatible. The tuner od the 500S is normally soldered, the DM 600 tuner is only pluged. Only the tuner of 7025 is compatible to the 600PVR.

Why don´t you buy a satellite tuner for the 600?
 
You can buy sat tuner for the DM600 but what I am doing at the moment is using my DM600 on the cable system. What I want to do is use buy another cheap dreambox and swap over the tuners so the clone is running on my cable and my DM600 is running on my satellite with the satellite card on my DM600. If the price difference wasn't so huge I would probably buy another DM600.
 
dream4ever thanks for your reply I guess I was hoping it was pluggable.
 
The tuner for the Dreambox 600 and 7025 are 100% all plugable.
 
The tuner on a 500c is plugged in and not soldered in.
 
Thanks for that m8. I brought my Dm600 from him, gave me a good deal. The cards seem a bit expensive on his site so should be interesting to see how this turns out.

Just mailed the guy and he said that the DM600 tuner is shorter and therefore you cannot swap between the two boxes.

Ex factory every Dreambox 600 comes with a satellite tuner, why should the same tuner be incompatible ???
 
I assume that he means its is not the same tuner that is installed in the DM7025 i.e physically shorter rather than saying the tuner is incompatible. I expect it must be true otherwise he would make more sales if he said the tuner could be installed in both machines.
