DM800 original vs. clone

Ignore bigdave, he owns dreambox clones.

He just dropships from china with the same source as yao xin
what!!!:FRIGHT:....are you serious....?...., if you are then forget it , iwont be buying from him..lol
 
Hello Lads,

I recently purchased a clone of Yao xin..

Have the same issues on a few HD channels :

DiscoveryHD
SkySport HD1
Disney Cinemagic HD
SciFi HD

These give me breakup and glitching of images..I have tried both Nabilosat BH11 and Gemini 4.5 for clones still same problem

Have tried the Inline Amplifer and that didn't really help either(LNB should enter into the in section right?)

any ideas, all other hd channels are fine

thanks

i dont think ill go for a clone....might get the original.....willing to shell out about £350 for it, but will wait until my area has gone nagra3, im still on cable and was looking into the sattelite scene..hopefully in abouy 2-3 months when im N3....the prices of thease dm800hd would have dropped a little.....

have you tried an in line amplifier which a lo of guys have mentioned that fixed the glitching on HD Channels
 
Hi,

I got one of these from a chinese and its sim2.01 and bootloader 75 and all that.
I want to flash to Nabilo Black Hole v0.12 but I asked him would there be any problems, got this answer and I'm not even sure if he understood my question:

"you can't update soteware from because it support BOOT73.4.2 only. our dm800 is boot#7.5 if you flash to kill your dm800 .i will send a new software to you ,you fash to your dm800."

It's pretty confusing stuff. DM800 works perfectly, bar the glitches with the known channels, which I'll fix with the inline thing. But in the meanwhile has anybody got one of these latest sim 2.01 clones and successfully flashed to Black Hole v.012? Have many people had problems?

Do i need a patched version or something? Also if something goes wrong and I have to reload the secondstage bootloader, where can I find it? Cheers if anybody can help!
 
dreambox-clones.co.cc are sending the boxes with the fix already applied... i can confirm this... as i got another box on xmas eve and it already had the fix applied... and using SIM 2.01 :D

The box I bought recently from BCT had this fix applied too so dremboxclones is not doing this himself.

The box itself works great early in the morning when it is cold. when it heats up there are glitches on the usual transponders on sly and when the missus sticks the heat on in the house lots of sd channels begin to glitch and hd channels go to 0%

could it be the wonky bonky chinese brand of capacitor they're using in the fix is rubbish and struggles in the heat? anyone else experienced this?

thanks
 
Hi, Tony sent answer,that now problem now for fan noise and with capacitor isnt,maybe is more information, is problems really stop.Thanks

Exactly same issue for me...Box recently replaced from BCT and came with rev k tuner with the capacitor fix already applied. However as soon as box warms up I lose HD AND SD channels....

I'm contemplating swapping the shitty 16v capacitor they used but not sure if that will actually solve the issue...

Is the 16v capacitor fix CONCLUSIVELY fixing tuner issues when using a decent brand capacitor?
 
I got one from DSATV in China, 225 dollars and very high quality with the Rev. K tuner and BL 75 and sim 2.01. Is the only benefit of sim 2.01 that original drivers can be installed? Any other things of note?
