    This device is the best SD Receiver for DTH that I know. It was made for it. It is perfect for CS. The people can install and use a lot of linux images and get the best from this world.

    Awesome Product!

    posted by Emerzozn on 05/21/2010 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    * Great Price! You probably won't find another receiver cheaper than this (with the same features). * Works great either for FTA and CS. * Works with other firmware images (I use Jade PLI with no problems whatsoever) * If you get to brick you box, recovery ...
    Cons:
    * Not the real Dreambox. It's a Dreambox clone, but with the same funcionalities. * Comes with Chinese language firmware by def...

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Pros:
    Seems well made. Runs Open-Pli images without problems. In function it seems indistinguishable from a Dreambox DM500s. Good box for satellite hobbyists on a budget.
    Cons:
    The installed firmware is a little rough around the edges for an English speaker and requires tweaking for American use, but it...

    Great

    posted by Phinxy on 03/27/2010 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    I like the metal finish, everything is working as it should. It has all the pros that an original dreambox has. It is SMALL, much smaller than original dreambox! Good overall quality.
    Cons:
    Network speed is slow so you can't stream uncompressed from box to computer. Power adapter cable didnt fit perfectly in the ada...
