[QUOTE="BonceChops, post: 60789, member: 179529"] I bet not many satellite dealers know much about Dreamboxes. Or if they do they probably don't want to install them. There is no money to be made afterwards - no cards to sell and program and no new cam's needed every few months. The Dreambox is a superb receiver and works perfectly from new without much setting up - only the same as most 'normal' receivers. No satellite receiver sold today works perfectly - if they did why would the manufacturer release software updates for them? The fun starts when you want to install other software images to do the 'interesting' stuff. Images like I use by The_Hydra are not standard. They have improvements and additions and yes faults in them. Just like the many cams and cards people spend a lot of money on to achieve similar viewing. My wife says to me "are you messing with that box again? Why don't you send it back if it dosn't work properly?" and I have to explain that it works perfectly with the original software in but I want it for the extra stuff, so I have to put up with the little 'teething' problems. @Jaffer - its a shame you sent back the Dreambox - you wont find a better receiver for flexibility for getting almost all the channels open at the moment ( not until the Dreambox 7020 is out that is :) ) Neil.
