I too am wanting to know this,
I have just recently purchased an Dreambox 800 HD clone to go in place of my Dreambox 500s standard def box (original and not a clone) that I have in my bedroom, I was reluctant to buy a clone for 2 reasons,
1. original and official is best
2. 'the so called timebomb'
I had a cloned dreambox 500s a few years ago, was believed it to be an original untill 1 day I turned the box on to find that the 'timebomb' had made the box unusable, so my mate got in touch with a guy that actually brought it back to life, worked fine from then on, wasn't untill last year sometime that I accidently knocked the box off the unit, the box was totally dead, my mate kindly give me his 500s (original) when he upgraded to the dreambox 8000 HD, which I also purchased a month or 2 before him, that is an original also...
so, to clarify, I have the following;
Dreambox 8000 HD (orginal) as my main box in the living room
Dreambox 500s standard def (original) use in my bedroom
Just bought Dreambox 800 HD (clone) to go in my bedroom
this is what is already on the 800 HD (Clone) which the guy who I bought it from kindly installed for me;
Bootloader 76C - Sim 2.01 - Alps Tuner
Gemini 5.0 installed
Cccam 2.1.4 installed
is this ok, and safe to use without the fear of a so called 'timebomb' and/or anything else??
am I safe with using the above or any other image??
Thanks in advance..
