mines locked up 2-3 time since buying it 2 weeks ago

Only 2-3 times in 2 weeks? Thats pretty good in my opinion. The kathrein locks up 2-3 times a day! Even my dreambox 7020 locks up now and again. Something you get used to with this kind of technology.

Yeah paul, my old DM7000 locked up 2-3 times an hour on a bad day LOL :D
One thing that surprised me in a good way was the actual stability of the DM800/Enigma2.

I personally ticked the pretty happy option since the receiver actually does pretty much what it says on the box and does it pretty well, there are still a few things that needs to be corrected though.

Please note that I am looking at this from an ORIGINAL software point of view...and that is all DMM has resposibility for.

Yeah still weighing up the option of buying one. I might hold out until later this year though and may even wait for the 8000. Also I always find early adopters are often the guinea pigs for people like me who get one a bit later than everyone else as by then the early problems are ironed out.;)

I am pretty happy with my DM800, but SD quality is crap even compared to my old DM7000 which has a poor tuner...

[wallycharlo]

Hmmm, the results are very interesting, it seems to be centred on "just average" ...

[butterbox]

I agree with the SD quality being alot poorer than my old 7000s and 500s and 500+. Probably more noticable for me with a 50" plasma. Some SD channels are painful to watch. Considering that 99% of the channels I watch are SD this is a big issue.
Also scrolling text on news channels and film credits is bumpy with intermittent blurring at both 50Hz and 60Hz.
If I connect USB and eSata I get ac3 audio sync problems on HD channels. Maybe the processer is not up to the task.
Also during FTP I constantly loose power to the ethernet port, and don't always get power to the eSata port resulting in a few restarts to get it going.
Zapping inter transponder channels is slow.
All my other issues are more to do with enigma2 and not the box.

[bonovox]

I don't understand why SD broadcasts would be any worse than older SD boxes. Is it because you are viewing them upscaled which can make the quality worse than better? Isn't there a setting that lets you watch SD broadcasts in 576i other than upscaled to 720p or 1080i?

[satrix]

guys you are right when write then dm800 bad picture quality on SD chanell,me when not satisfaction with picture on some SD chanell just switch on scart out, and picture is same like other db.On HD chanell picture is exellent.
sory for bad eng...
