        Well the HD800 SE on the other side has a presence of a USB but for me if I would buy a new box it would be the 500HD. The price difference between this two devices is to big and also 500HD sims to have a stronger processor 400MHz and the first edition of a DM800HD has a 350MHz processor. So for me it would be the DM500HD.

            Yes you are right but the DM800 HD model is far way expensive then the DM500 HD model and the characteristics are nearly the same.

              DM 800 HD is more expensive due to such characteristics as color Oled display and a USB port

                Re: dreambox 500HD

                and do you think it can be worth selling a DM7000 to buy a dm500hd?

                  how much is a good price for the 500hd at a european dealer?
                  Are clones of the 500 hd at the market?

                  Thanks
                  Jochen

                    The original one is somwhere about 300 Euros and the clone model is somwhere about 248 Euros. I think that the clones of the DM 500HD are forbidden at the european market so you want find it in any official shop, but there is always the net.

                      Are there any problems known with the clones like not compatible firmware or some actions of Dream?

                        No the SW is nearly identical with the DM500 HD original. In the sections of Mr. Satlover you have a planty SW for the clones :



                        The clones are of course much cheaper and the parts that are inside are not so very good quality like in the German original DM 500HD.

                            You can buy a DM500HD clone and of course it is Chinese manufactured that's why they are so cheap compared to the German originals.

                            Best place to buy is the internet for very good prices
