    DM800 Clone, VU+Duo or other?

    Decided the AZBox is going to go, just not sure what to replace it with?

    Read that the VU+Duo might have trouble with cccam in the future which is making me a bit wary.

    And it seems a bit of a lottery what quality DM800 clone I would get.

    All I want is for it to be stable with cccam, not bothered about the media side of things, as I have PCH for that.

    Cheers

    For stable CCcam then you can count out Azbox, then you have DM800 or Vu+ to choose from in your list.

    I have no experience of DM800 or Vu+ so i can't recommend any of them but according to the forums Vu+ is the way to go as you get so much more for your money as twin tuner etc...

    Fist Azbox and VU+ are good boxes...only Vu+ is Enigma 2 mean Server and clinet...

    I do not recommender Dm 800 Copy...a lot of ****s from china..in alibaba for very cheap......But cheap some time will be a problem..

    I can understudy if Any dealer deal big quantity with good manufacture in China ,but buying product from Cowboys they buy 5-10 pz to any please in china that is a big risk.

    From three boxes i will recombined Azbox and Vu+.


    Check both boxes are supported from Sponsor check to Goldwafers.com

    Azbox Premium+ is the best box out there at the moment for the money.

    It's not an easy choice, all of these boxes seem to have their problems... In the end, I just went for a clone DM800 bl75 because of the support, and so far I haven't regretted it.

    There's a lot to learn about these boxes, and I have had much scratching of head - but once you get it all working how you like it, they are a very powerful little machine.

    Hi, do you have problems with **** sports HD channels breaking up ? I've had my clone about a week and this is the only problem I have. Great little box otherwise.

    Cheers

    HD channels breaking up could be a tuner issue, easily fixed with a line amp close to the lnb, a common problem with 800 clones.

    BTW: I'm getting a sample of the Ferrarisimcard soon, which supposedly bypasses the DM sim card security
    can you tell me me what the Ferrarisimcard is i've not seen a reference to it before

    To be honest I don't know a great deal about it other than it is a reprogrammable sim which allows you to run (patched) images with the latest drivers, and it can be updated each time there is a new bootloader...

    For anyone with a clone, it sounds like a winner. Reports I've read say it's working, although as yet not a finished product. A guy with a BL72 DM used it and saw a big improvement (DVB subtitles now working, faster zapping, better graphics etc...)

    Once I have mine, I'll post more info.

    Sorry for the posting, no different to other posts in the past, but I guess we should be grateful for Lee's support, and encourage dudez to use his service.

    The website link was not a vendor's site, but a discussion board, one that has been mentioned previously, which is why I didn't think it a problem. Similarly the price I paid was also in a previous thread.

    Unlike some others, I have never posted here for personal gain, and I have always supported the board financially, so my conscience is clear...

    No LCD display though, which I know I would miss, else think this would be a good option.

    Only thing worrying me on the 800 Clone is the glitching on the Sly HD channels, as don't want to have to mess about fitting an inline amp. Where would the amp need to be put, could I put it near to the box, or do I have to put it near the LNB?

    Cheers

    Inline amp should be as close to the lnb as you can get, but should still work if roughly less than 50% of the way along the cable if access is a problem.

    If you buy a clones today, this shouldn't be a problem as the issue has been fixed by the manufacturers - only 3 of them I believe. A change to the tuner module was necessary and will have been done already if you pick a reputable (!) clone vendor.

    DM500HD really is a great box ( maybe better than 800 which I love )
    1 card reader NO PROBLEM
    External HDD NO PROBLEM
    Fast YES
    Picture via HDMI Great.
    CCcam working 100%
    The next week or so will be the test but for me this is a great box.
