It sure looks like a mean machine and the specs are pretty good as expected so hope the price is right for DM8000.:cool: Sure hope it gives the rest a run for their money too.;)

[raul]

yes i have the same info , very early/ january 2007 first batch of boxes
will be delivered to distributors taking pre orders .
next batch could be months later .

current price is 650 euro .

[xanadu]

The first batch of any model Dreambox so far has been the worst, and have needed mods, so might be worth waiting for the 2nd batch. :D

[satdown]

I've been waiting for this for ages, mainly to get the tuner mix into one box. I haven't got a HD TV yet, so I think I might go for the tele first, then the dm8000 especially as the first releases usually seem to have problems. Anyway what image are you going to use when they first come out.

[kegrka]

RAUL
Whats the betting 650 euros converts to at least £650 .would you take that rate for your holiday,
Not bothered anyway as I don't think it'll be out as quick as that or are dream media too lazy to give this news out on thier web page ?
:)




LETS ROLL

[raul]

thats the pre order prize the swedish distributor took from end users .
that order is fully booked now , as for dream multimedia info to public i have
no idea about that , but i'm sure they keep close contacts with their distributors .
the price was exactly 6500 SEK more or less 650 euro .

[kegrka]

Raul
Well its all there .but as I said no mention on their site about it or a release date,Swedish is not in my knowledge .anyone tell when delivery of these orders are being filled.
My local fountain of knowledge states its nowhere being ready .wonder what he thinks after this.I'd thought our board Sponsors might have some info being in the trade. Price comment was about ripoff britain in general
Hope it is as good as every one thinks its going to be,:)

[As-21]

no HDMI OUTPUT whats the point of having DM8000 if you cant plug it in to tv with HD inputs!

[kegrka]

as 21
whats this line from the above spec (first post on this thread )
"H.264 HDTV 1080i, DVI or HDMI Connector "
As far as I know you can still run hdtv with DVI conections .there seems to be an army of connection boxes etc building up .as most tv only have one or the other and only one .soon be more hdtv stuff to connect anyway :confused:

Still no sign on my local dealers site or elsewhere????



LETS ROLL

[CROSSBONES]

£650 is a bit steep, I would pay 650 euros.

lets Just hope this box has some nice tricks:D

[mini__me]

I'm hoping for divxhd network playback as well as the usual ;-)

[Hixxy]

no HDMI OUTPUT whats the point of having DM8000 if you cant plug it in to tv with HD inputs!


Because you buy a dvi-hdmi lead for 10 squid. Same signal, just different plug with no audio.

[wayne101]

i have a 7025 but would consider an 8000 if the price was right , hopefully support for both boxes will increase by that i mean enigma 2 .
well gives us some thing to look forward to in 2007 !!:D .
cheers

March 2007 is still the earliest date the Dreambox 8000 could be on sale, and would not be surprised if it was later.

[Slap]

Will it be able to Decode better than say a patched &#163;100 receiver.

[karlpowell]

Will it be able to Decode better than say a patched £100 receiver.

yes ...high def channels :p

[gov400]

depends what u use on it. of course with dream u can do cs so i think it will be better

[birkenhead]

At 650€ / &#163;440 approx! for the basic model is quit good, but the add-ons... at what price are these likely to be?

Additional turner = &#163;60?
DVD-RW = &#163;50 (likely hood you can't uses a standard DVD-RW)
IDE/SATA kit for HDD/DVD = &#163;15 each!

What I'm hoping to see is Blue Ray! DVDs will be dead (Like VHS) in 3-5 years (although you might not see the box 8000 until Blue ray is standard:D release date 2010!:p)

Realistically look at the life span of you will want from this unit! it really will need Blue Ray & SATA!

[kewell79]

very slow on hd channels,
somecolors it can not show,
4 sec it take to change channel,
no onoff button, and may other problems
so its better to wait ,
but still i am waiitng for it

[borderfox]

dm8000.net is offline. The 1st March has been and gone. Any sign of a release?

[Dice Man]

I can't answer your question, but i've seen posts on other boards dating from August 2005 regarding an "impending" release of this receiver. :eek:

[Rocknroll]

Some decent looking sat shop has this written for dm8000:

"This product will be in stock on Monday 23 April, 2007."

But I guess only time will tell.

[butterbox]

Spoke with a German dealer last week and he said July-August. Something to do with the MPEG-4 processor availability. When it is released there will be a limited supply on the first batch.

[Slap]

When you hear about the 9000s that is when the 8000s will be on sale.

[painter]

Well I've got tired of waiting for the 8000 and have ordered a 7025S mostly for enigma 2 from Lee our sponsor of course.

regards painter

[A]

Yes been reading about this 8000 for ages does not seem to coming

[dannybcfc]

Dreambox seem to really be promoting the 8000 so I am guessing it won't be that long now. I got a flyer with my 600pvr saying that it's coming soon and also my mate ordered a 500s and there's a flyer in there too lol.

I guess they're just making people more eager to get one, So a longer wait is better for them in my opinion.

[azeemmir]

not this year for sure,

[fcukbcfc]

the new date is sept now 07 that is.

[Correct]

I'm on the way to home...after 3 days of ANGA....i've talk this morning with Tim( Dream Multimedia Boss), and he make me clearance in some my dubts regarding DM 8000.
First ...the machine will be in the market not before than latest months of the year( my experience say it will be out on February ), the price will be around 700€(without the drives Hdisk and DVD burner), the STB already record HDTV contenutes, it has 4 slot CI in order to use different cam, for different tuner in the same moment( so it will be able to be used in multi decryption ), it has inside two wireless card in order to work with the router in wifi mode.
I've take some new OSD pictures, and tomorrow i'll post them in this thread.

Thanx to &#176;&#176;>MeFiSt&#174;<&#176;&#176; for this info.

[xanadu]

Do you mean February 2008? or was that a typing error? :rolleyes:

[gov400]

700 euros about 470 quid.

+ a 200gb HD for recording hd programs + DVD Burner add 130 quid

thats 600 quid for it about the same price for a cheap 42" HDTV lcd.

But doesnt it sound tempting. 4 tuners , wireless. Thats sweet. Will start saving up this summer. About 9 months with what COrrect said to February. So 20 quid a week should do it.

I have been trying to get my head round why it would have 2 cards , is the future 2 brodband connections? or is it for people with a old ISDN line that are not bonded ??? any 1 any idea ?

[canthackit]

i wouldn't read to much into the specs....i read so many supposed spec sheets on the 8000 my mind swims, take it all with a pinch of salt mate, and let's get an official statement from DMM, and let's see if the box really exist.

And before you scream at me, yes! i know i've seen the photos of the 8000 too from the german exhibition last year and still nothing from DMM.

How many times have we heard not this month but next and so on and so on, and we're still here.

regards: canthackit

[luis]

@Correct

Since you talked to a DMM boss, have you learned from first hand the only thing I&#180;m interested in regarding DM8000: Have they finally acquired the license for HDMI and HDCP support??? That&#180;s the reason they have been postponing the DM8000 release for so long.

[fcukbcfc]

spoke to a man from a very well known sat shop and he said" i spoke to them last week and it should be a few more months if not the end of the year for it to come out "
looks like next year then.
i got a email last year from DMM saying it was coming out sept thats last sept.
im beginning to agree with canthackit on this one been well over a year now.

[Correct]

This is not my info. I only copy/paste from friendly board.

Yes -> February 2008.

This ''news'' is from ''&#176;&#176;>MeFiSt&#174;<&#176;&#176;''!

Correct.

[rowla]

h**p://www.satellitehelp.co.uk/portal/content/view/71/2/ It would finally seem to be OFFICIAL! And the second download here in the "DM 600" section even includes a "flyer", and that's on the OFFICIAL Dream Multimedia site!h**p://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/english/products_flyer.php Although, trying to actually find one for sale anywhere is so far impossible, but an acknowledgement of it's EXISTENCE on the Dream site is certainly a step in the right direction.

[norm]

That first URL you posted is over a year old, and the second doesn't show anything.

The word is the DM8000 will be released August of this year.

[koshba]

Hope so Norm :)

[norm]

I think I will stick with my DM500's for now.

At 799e (540 GBP) the DM8000 is a bit rich for me. But you can bet it'll be one amazing piece of hardware.

[kegrka]

How come there is no mention of the 8000 on dream media's news / product pages says it all really when is there it'll be in the shops ,and it looks like plenty of other manufacturers will be releasing something ,seems like there a few linux based boxes on sale now so HDTV will soon be in them

Re " when its there it'll be in the shops " I meant when dream media have the 8000 in the news on their pages ,then it will be available .till then wait it may be worth it who knows??

Reading the German posts in the db forum it seems likely to be December this year.

[azeemmir]

hi
i have heard 8000 is in market but not too much
and in some countries , like germany,
is there any news about it?

[doubleudee]

I've not seen or heard anything, but I know there is a new db 100 now available along with a revised 725.

[Yoda]

Im starting to think this product will never see the light of day...

[birkenhead]

Read somewhere that they can't get a licence for HD so it will be a very long time before it hit the market (only rumour)!!!!

As for the 100 model it for the DIY (domestic) market, it doesn't have Linux that why it very cheap €166 (&#163;115)

[xanadu]

DM8000 is dead I think. :D

Maybe we will see a DM9000 or a DM 8250. :D :rolleyes:

[cooler]

might as well release the clone of it from china. lol

It's called the DM8000 after the year it'll be released in. : )

Dreambox will have to get a HD receiver out very soon and maybe just in time for Christmas if they want them to sell like hot cakes...

And also quite a few manufacturers are releasing new HD receivers in the coming months.

Dreambox 8000 has just started production in China, and should be in shops in November, according to a supermod on a German board. :cool:

BTW November is next month
