Well I'm not even sure what a dreambox is. Got to start somewhere.
Do dream box's decrypt channels?
I have a sky subscription, but if i got a dreambox could i use that and get all channels such as movie, sports, documentaries, entertainment?
 
I bought an original. Unless your a real techie don't bother with clones.

Yes, it will decrypt channels that you are paying for. It uses a piece of software called a softcam. Once you load and configure the softcam, you place your subscription card in the card slot and then you can view all the channels that you pay for under your subscription plan.
 
Just to air my opinion there are the HD and non HD Dreamboxes I would go for the HD ones since nowadays we have these LCD's and LED's TV's which make use of the HD Format. The Non HD's are the DB 500 (if you can find one) and the DB 600PVR. The HD ones are the DB 8000HD, DB800HD, DB 500HD, DB800se, and still to come out DB7020HD. If you are interested in the HD ones I would personally go to for the DB 800se because its the latest and has all the required modifications from the previous ones BUT pricey, as all Dreamboxes infact are. These DB's are all Originals not Clones.

1) Yes BUT ONLY if you have a suitable subscription

2)You get what you pay for and no more

A Linux receiver is a high end enthusiasts receiver, and unless you are willing to spend weeks tinkering and poking around "under the bonnet" dont bother with one.

If you are expecting to get all the pay channels for free forget it - this doesnt happen any longer - you missed the boat by at least 3 years :D.
 
Or if you want HD you could go out and buy something Like a Vu+ Solo, Vu+ Duo, Technomate TM800, Q-Box mini, or ClarkTech ET9000. There is also the IPBox range from ABCom to consider :D

If its SD there is also the Technomate Range, TM9100, TM600, & TM500 Super.

Why everyone thinks the Dreambox is some sort of mistical box that opens everything is totally beyond me.

There are also other boxes as listed below which are better value for money and in some cases better built than anything Dream Multimedia have made.

Also a lot of the afore mentioned boxes also have extremely good support if you know where to find it :D
