Hi Lenny
I have the Triplex ,which is the same as the SAB and I find it an excellent receiver.
The receivers handle sealions but you have to use Oscam instead of CCcam but thats not a big issue,I actually prefer Oscam ,its has more options .
Hyperion 3 is probably the best Enigma 2 image ,its very stable and has lots of features.
The SAB is good for Saorview too ,you have 3 tuners .
The SAB is a good upgrade for you ,its much faster at booting ,~75 seconds and the extra cpu speed is noticeable ,the 800 is sluggish in comparison.
The only cons are that the sound levels on the ac3 channels can be a bit low and the external hard drive can rarely lock up but apart from that its a great receiver ,wife is very happy with it and has easily transferred over from Dm800.:Biggrin2:
The other options available to you would be a Mini Duo clone which looks nice and is around 135 euro from China.It has no Saorview tuner though .
Next step up would be a Gigablue Clone for 255 euro or 280 with a Saorview tuner.
Solo 2 is well over 300 euro,there are clones of this out now for under 200 euro delivered but I wouldnt spend that much money on a recently released clone,too many possible issues.
Hope this helps
Hi Fano, my old DM800 clone is starting to act up with age so I'm considering the SAB Triple Tuner box, at the moment I am using an external USB DTT tuner in the dreambox to pickup Irish Saorview channels but it's not ideal, do you know how these combo boxes (SAB,AMIKO,Golden Media) handle CCCam & clines , I bought the ferguson ariva 120 combo when they first came out just to see how it worked but never liked the cheap GUI & limited functions it has compared to the dreambox....in short would you recommend the SAB box.
