Have a look at our forum supporting advertisers in my signature, try Satonline and Pulsat they sell the DM600, don't think the 500 is made any more.

600 is ok, although nothing compares to the features of the 7025 so far. Price plays a big part of course. Use Mark Hemming at _www.satstore.co.uk he is one of only 2 official UK suppliers. The other one is _www.dreamboxshop.co.uk , this chap is a total wa*ker ! do not use him. Hope this helps...

He's initial service is good . although his general attitude to after sales customer service stinks ! He's actually quite ignorant. Also I've heard from other people he quotes prices then adds the vat later. I've spoke to other suppliers who know of his attitude and service level. I guess that speaks for its self.

How is this for a professional quote from his website?

WARNING: DON'T BE FOOLED BY CHEAP PRICES FROM ABROAD. PIRATE BOXES ARE COMING FROM ABROAD. THEY LOOK IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL, BUT HAVE A SHORT-LIFE, SHORT MEMORY CHIP INSIDE AND MADE WITH SECOND HAND COMPONENTS FROM CRAP COMPUTERS.
