DM800hd purchase and setup advice.

the link you have isn't to a drive but an enclosure. one of these will do the trick but you need a 2.5" enclosure, not a 3.5" enclosure for the drive you currently have. check ebay!

what is the issue with mounting the drive internally?
is it not safe with fans?

The poundland laptop coolers are good I use one on my Dm800hd, clear plastic stand suits the box quite well.
The standard internal factory fitted fans are crap...bearings fail and get noisy very quickly. You can oil the bearing but it doesnt last long.
The only annoying thing about the poundland cooler is the fan has blue LED's so if your reciver is in a bedroom, it glows at night and you cant sleep ! It also stays on all the time even when the box is in standby.
I seen a link somewhere to a coolermaster heatsink and ballbearing fan chipset cooler that fits the Dm800HD, cant find it now though..
just open it up and snip out all of the LED's mate lol.

I have been meaning to do exactly that...finally got round to it last night, twisted both LEDS off with some long nose pliers...sorted now...
Still would be better if the fan would switch off when the box in standby..Not sure if you can do this by rewiring one of the wires to a pin ion the SCART socket...
Hi tazb3, Is your DM800 the one with M3 tuner in it?
Have a look at Digi's fan mod for the tm800hd.
i would think it cant differ much,
just need to find the right pin outs.

It's even easier the mod for clone dm800's has been around for ages with soldering negative wire to a pin 8 on the SCART socket. I just havent got around to bothering with it yet.
The scart socket is sealed on a TM 800 with a metal cage so you cant use it on them,,,hence why you have to find points on the board etc...

Did anyone look at that ebay site for enclosures , he has good selection of UDB fans . Suitable for 800HD ?
does this mean that the new tuner now fixes all of the previous glitcihng problems etc?
what are the current issues with this box?

how long did the box take to come from these mate, was it long!
I paid on 10th and according to tracking it was posted on 18th so it has not yet arrived
usually takes about 25 days.
