[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 56299, member: 176912"] The Dreambox from Germany is completely compatable with the UK power supply, but you will need to change the mains lead for one with a UK 3 pin 13A plug (still the standard 'figure 8' power lead). The power consumption issue I was reffering to was that of the hard disk, not the Dbox itself. This from Dream... "In fact any harddisk with a power consumption below 500mA on both the 5V and 12V should work just fine. We advise you to use a 5400RPM disk since they produce less noise" Have a look here for compatable HDD's :- [url="http://www.dreamsatsoft.tv/howtodream/HowToDream_en.htm"]h**p://www.dreamsatsoft.tv/howtodream/HowToDream_en.htm[/url] As MacAddict said, I believe there was a problem with the Dreambox PSU in early versions. The later orange-LCD versions should be fine. [/QUOTE]
