    Default Whats so good about dreambox

    Hi Guys

    Forgive me for this query, but I'm a novice in satellite TV stuff. I currently own a Sonicview box and am thinking about upgrading. Can anyone give me an idea on why dreamboxes are so popular. I mean, what's so different between a dreambox and a plain old FTA box. Will dreamboxes allow you to watch more satellite TV channels or something? From what I can see on Lyngsat, FTA channels are "free", and Irdeto channels are encrypted, so it does not matter which box you ultimatley buy does it???

    thanks

    just have a read through this forum and you will see what people are using dreamboxes for.

    1) will they give you more channels then non dreamboxes: Well some may say yes but really no they dont they give you access to the same stuff.

    2) whats different then: The main difference is how you access these channels and then what you can do with them ie my dreambox can easily stream to my ipad and other devices. A dreambox is a linux box that gives you much more customization than any normal sat box.

    ZBee,

    What is your form (regarding your post #3 & #4) ?

    Slinging shit on other members is that all you can contribute to this forum?

    Yes those posts of yours should be deleted, i have no idea why they havnt been to date (which i may add, totally amazes me).

    The original post (by ghaddad69) was in regards to upgrading to a dreambox and what its benefits are.

    Ghaddad69,

    A DM will perform fine, it is a linux based O/S, can do blue cards (in card slot) and aurora via ppua (if using a E1 box), but looking toward the future, i would recommend a VU+DUO, a much better box, top quality pics/sound and HD compliant and can be equipped with an inboard standard SATA HDD for recording.


    cheers

    vu was a copy, as was most in recent times. the only close copy was "reelbox" many know i have a very long history in the australian scene, in the early days this was truely a hobbie, some may remeber doing the first "season" to a pace400 running cardemu with a homemade season interface. the point i am making is, a dreambox is the only decent box to play with, the others are just gimmee boxes and what image do i need to circumvent the system. as to the attack i posted in general on the old adage of beware who is to be trusted

    Actually i do, Zbee.

    What i find sad (as you have put it) is a forum/site, that condones the public slamming/trashing of members that have contributed a lot of usefull information, such as Vic has, who i may add, has helped many members including newbies and myself with thier various posts/enquiries.

    Afterall Zbee - here is the relative comparison (current as of 1930hrs WST 16/07/2011)

    If i was a newbie, i would be taking advice from Vic, overall, he has the knowledge and furthermore, the experience.

    Now lets stick to the topic of this thread shall we?

    actually zbee is a old timer fondly remember his contributions to a long forgotten forum ;-) we shared what you most call a hobby now days but have NFI how anything works, what do I call it?? oh yea thats it a plug and play sat system you guys have,the dreambox made you use your grey matter it wasnt about gimmi this and that back in the early days, you know people actually took the time to learn how to use the box, but now days those who buy dreams buy them loaded with images and cams YEP plug and play, and you guessed it right something fails and they have NFI whatsoever how to fix it, buy a dream and actually take the time to learn how the box works now thats what a hobby is all about MAKING IT WORK YOURSELF!!!!
