Dreambox - Best retailers?

[DodgyTech]

Guys, I been searching around and I'm confused as I just don't know which is the best retailer around for DMs.

I want to get a DM500s and so far I've looked at:

DVBMonkey
Linuxsat
Satstore

I was going to buy from DVB monkey and then saw that satstore have a cheap dm500s but out of stock and DVBMonkey's shipping price is a rip-off.

Can anyone recommend me any retailers and a rough figure of how much they paid.

Thanks mate. Had a look at them before, but the whole "DMBox" logo at the front kinda puts me off (even though I know that they are all clones).

Have you bought one of these?

Thanks mate, had a look at your link. The delivery cost is just as bad as dvbmonkey! lol

Yes, I have two of these, Build quality looks better than a couple of 500c's I have, has a power switch at the back as well which some other clones dont have.

Works fine, currently have one running a OpenPli image with CCAM 2.1.4 in client mode.

Thanks guys. i'll get one from deal extreme unless someone posts anything better before 5

Be prepared to wait 2 weeks for delivery though ! The free delivery uses standard airmail.

- You will also need a 2 pin - 3 pin UK plug adaptor as the power lead comes with a 2 pin plug. Or if you have a spare figure 8 lead with a UK 3 pin plug, you can use this instead.
