I bought a few into the country around 2 years ago, which were a clone of the original DM800.
These were as the original, offered DVI output and also support PVR functionality either via network mount, or internally mounted 2.5" Sata drive.
Although, due to the location and limited area available inside to mount the drive, its best to install the drive externally via Esata connection.
HDMI, i havent seen in any Dreambox to date.
From what i gather, Dream were not licenced to use HDMI due to them using an opensource OS, which allows users to alter certain copyright protections.
Performance is pretty good.
My 800 has been running non stop, and hasnt missed a beat.
One other thing i did do, was slow down the CPU fan speed, as stock out of the box it sounds like a jet engine.
I think from memory i installed 50ohms in series with the fan, which bought it down to a more quieter level, but still supplied plenty of cooling.
Cheers
