Is this a real dreambox??

henrikno7 · 4 Weeks Ago

hi i,m looking 4 a new receiver to use for ccam and found a website and it claims to be selling DREAMBOX 500s for £38 reduced from £60.82
i,ve heard of fake dreamboxes this site looks genuine but are the real dreamboxes that cheap??
i dont know if i,m allowed to post the link or not but maybe someone can tell judging by the price any help is appreciated

For one thing, they stopped making DM500s over a year ago, so its almost certainly a clone. Also, the price would be way too cheap for a genuine box.

That being said, £38 is not a bad price for a clone. Assuming it works.

If you are going for the lower end Dreamboxes, I'd recommend the DM600 . The DM600 will happily drive a Diseqc motor as well as being generally a good box. (Clone or original, I've not seen any difference)

can i get ccam on the DM600 or a falcon recevier ? i was offered a falcon and was told it was a copy/clone of the DM could you recommend a falcon model ? i,m looking at the lower end "not 2 expensive" well 4 the timebeing that is

If the Falcon is a copy/clone of the Dreambox 500s i would avoid it like the plague if your intending to go motorised

The DM500 & its clones don't have the power to move a motor that well. the ones i had were sold on very quickly before they went through the window

If your after something at the cheaper end of the market try the Technomate TM500 or TM600 boxes. They operate a motor with no problems

The support is a little lacking at the moment for them but there are 2 image teams that are currently supporting them and to be honest i do expect more teams to come on board in the future

The TM600 is under £90 and you can also install a hard drive into it to make it into a PVR
