I currently have a DM800HD and am pretty fed up at this stage. It's a newish original (after replacing a clone that I though was the cause of the problem) and has a 500GB internal hard drive.
The problem is performance - I cannot watch and record HD at the same time. This normally results in jittery playback when watching the recorded program. Also, the 'working' symbol appears in the top left of the screen locking out the controls until the DM is able to cope.
I see that the DM8000 has a 400Mhz processor as opposed to the DM800's 300Mhz processor. So, is this the answer to my problems? It would be nice to have the dual tuner back as well so another question is can the 8000 handle recording two HD programs while watching another from disc?
I'm looking at either the VU+ Duo or the DM8000 as a solution so any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
