Hi guys,
Being new to this forum, I'd like to ask for your expertise on the Dreambox topic.
I'm about to buy a new box but don't know whether to go for DM600 or DM800. Please note that I will be buying a clone due to the low price, and I know I'm taking a risk here but I'm prepared to do that. Also, to get more proper answers, I would like to add that I own a Full HD tv.
Anyhow, here are some points I've read about in other threads, but didn't find any good answers to.
1. Weak tuners in DM800. Does DM600 suffer from this too?
2. Secondstage seems to be a hot topic where people face problems updating their bootloaders on the DM800. Does the same apply DM600? As far as I understand, the DM800 uses a SIM card to do som manufacturer checks which is a bit of a hazzle, but the DM600 doesn't use this method right? Is it or will it be a considerable problem for DM800 owners?
3. Is there any difference in picture quality on SD channels between these two boxes?
4. Is the plugin support more or less the same for both?
5. Does the smaller memory size in DM600 matter when it comes to "regular usage" of the box?
6. I read that the DM800 has possibilities of acting as a media center (e.g. playing .mkv files). Would like to hear some opinions of how good it is.
7. Anything else I need to consider before deciding on which one to buy?
Would really appreciate if someone could help me out with these questions.
