Ohhh... lucky you... I've been eyeing up that 500gb on ebuyer for £56. Might grab it, or use the existing 160GB that I have roud:

 

[terminator2k2]

[the_dvd_guru]

could do with a channel list save on scanning anyone know were to get one

 

[telewestTUM]

how was your dm800 clone then? whats cheapest anyones seen for a dm800 with latest bootlader installed?

 

[fatbasket]

Paid £190 paypal delivered UPS from nextbay, even cheaper with EMS. Told it will be Gemini 4.4 with boot 72. Current tracking says it will be here tomorrow so I've yet to see what it's like and if I get hit by customs/import cost.
Hope it's good, also got NabiloBlackHole 11 boot 72 to try.

 

[ruddyrum]

I paid just under £175 all in... arrived in the UK within 2 days - took 4 days to deliver as it was a bank holiday! Clone is working well apart from i cant get my mototr to work... many people have issues setting up the motor even on originals, so im still trying to figure out if its the clone, or just me being a retard!

I have some PSU's from dm500's here,.. both clones & genuine ones, I'll test the output voltage on both & see how the compare,..some posters here say they did get the 800 clone box to power the motor when using a genuine dm PSU whilst others say they found that the clone PSU powers the motor through a genuine dm500.

 

[lenny]

BINGO,..mine just arrived, all seem fine in the box, nothing missing & same high quality accessories as tsj got with his, no time to set it up now but will report later,.......customs did'nt catch me either : mr ed :
