Hi,

I saw that the DM8000 clone is proposed at 480€ in some webstore !!!
In this one, the product is sold out. Perhaps they don't have receive the product yet.

Who was aware of the existence of DM8000 clones and who has one ?

Kind regards

I suppose the dm8000 pcb and the shipset firmware are now known by chinese manufacturers

Re: DM8000 clones !!!

I had a clone Dream 8000, did not like a lot of defects, the quality is bad. But perhaps because of the fact that it was the first of their party.

Re: DM8000 clones !!!

it is better to buy for a cheaper Vu + duo, no worries at least

Re: DM8000 clones !!!

Someone can recommend for me a clone of drambox HD or another one but with fast sharing data and less defects?
Azbox for example have a good reviews, is recomended and where can I find this for a good price?
Thanks

Re: DM8000 clones !!!

thank for your feedback satclub. So yes, you confirmed that the dm8000 clone has been released ! Yes, probably, the dm8000 is too young... like with the first sim1 clones of dm800. And perhaps next issues will be better ... wait & see (and sorry for you actual clone)
Brandolee, it depends of what you are looking for, and.. of your budget !
If you have enough to buy a clone of a dm8000, keep your money and wait for the official dm800se (or take a official dm500hd).
Personnaly, I prefer dreamboxes to Vu+ or Azbox but it a personnal feeling

Re: DM8000 clones !!!

I buy with this money as another version of the dreambox 500hd or 800HD but is nevertheless a dreambox.

Re: DM8000 clones !!!

Some feedback from a guy who got a sample :
No DVD
Sim 2.01 bl75 ( we need some solutions for new kernel if not then... I will choose VU+ duo instead of dm8000. The dm8000 is to young to leave this as it is with old drivers etc)
The oled display on front is a bit dimm.
The quality of body is poor. Not a solid

Re: DM8000 clones !!!

The DVD is not present by default also on the original one. It is an option you can purchase later one. The metalic body of the 800 clone is also poor comparing to the real one (which is heaviest).

The 8000 clone is available from this webstore (it is a ferrari SIM model and it seems that there only this one at the time behing):

Very cheap comparing to the originalone.

Re: DM8000 clones !!!

Re: DM8000 clones !!!

These pictures are from an ORIGINAL DM8000HD... not a clone... where have you found them ?

[seb131]

Re: DM8000 clones !!!

they have been taken by a guy who purchase it from a chinese manufacture
How can you distinguish it is an original ? It seems that a Diode is missing on the power supply unit of the clone, but it is hidden here (behind the black wires, just on the left of the screw with an arrow).
there is another picture here (from the same site - 8a8f8) :

Re: DM8000 clones !!!

These pictures are a scam... search on wikimedia.org for DM 8000...

The pictures on Wikimedia are dated Jan 2010.... so 6 months ago, unless he got a preview, posted the pictures on wikimedia and wait 6 months to disclose the clone... it's a SCAM....

The picture on the site you linked is a scam as well, look the watermark, it's Satwell, they sells only DM8000 Original...
