    Default Strong v's Dreambox

    If you were to compare these 2 configurations. Which one do you think would be best?

    1. Strong box with whitey
    2. Dreambox (dm500s) with internet

    I'm aware of the basic ups and downs. Like the cost of both (1 being much higher) and also the cryptography risk (1 being worse for change).

    Whats so good about the strong box over the deam?
    I was a pretty big dream fan until someone made a remark off the cuff saying they are crap compared to strong. Maybe, but you have to consider value also.

    If your good with computers, then dreambox.
    If computing stuff is a problem, then strong
    Reality is an invention of my imagination.

    If / when the whitey seller card falls over then the dream might come
    in real handy
    When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all

    Strong can NOT work with a foxtel NDS card.

    That's a real...showstopper.

    Redundancy, I have a tonne of receivers but the dream is the only one that enables me to see the world when I pull out my whitey I still see piccys connecting to multiple servers. So i guess when only time down time is when the ISP is now working or the sellers is at a mate place.

    If you are just wanting to watch tv with a white card , I would say Strong.

    Asking for things like that will get you banned
