Hi All,
after doing a lot of google searches this forum came up a lot so figured it be a good site to register onto.
Over the past week or so ive been looking into dreamboxs and thinking about getting my own. i see quite a few on ebay already setup for "plug and play" with free "gift" etc..
however i would quite like to have mine from scratch so i can learn and know exactly what has and hasnt been done/programmed/ touched on it.
(though i will prob live to regret it )
after looking at the boxs i think i am set on getting the DM800SE box good recommendations, and also has hdmi out (not dvi) and seems to be a newer model to the dm800hd. However i think i will have to get a clone (they around £150 mark??) whereas original about £400 looking on ebay etc..
ideally i would have liked a box with 2 tuners so i can record one programme while watching another but i think i am looking at the 8000's or 7020hd and looking online they are about £500 ish (again out my budget)
so couple of questions....
any disadvantage of getting a clone ? (most people seem to rate them)
can someone recommend me a reliable Uk supplier? ( maybe someone can PM me some companys?)
is it possible to upgrade the box with 2 tuners (to watch one ch and record another)?
reading on tuners i see dvb-s1/s2 what the difference? and also dvb-c/t
any difference betwen dm800se and dm800 pvr?
also to start with im going to be using a fixed dish at 28e.
in regards to setting the box up and from my research i beleive i will need a image to load onto the box? as the preloaded one isnt very good
can anyone recommend a good image?
what else is required ? need to load a cam to programme a c-line into?
was also reading about sim i beleive the dm800se could come with sim 2.10 what exactly does the sim do? from what i read and if i understand correctly was it a piracy countermeasure by makers of dreambox to stop cloned box's? however this has managed to be hacked and used on clones however when dream update firmware users with clones need to wait for the update to be hacked before they can update???
any other info people can give in terms of what else i need etc would be great.
look forward to some of your replies and PMs and getting myself setup asap.
