Does that mean four tuners then?

Built in Wi-Fi?

No HDMI?

[retainedstatue]

I think it means a "twin tuner", ie 2 tuners. Won`t have HDMI, DMM haven`t got a licence for it, will likely have the same DVI with custom dvi -> HDMI cable to carry sound.
Don`t know about wi-fi.

[fino]

whats the problem with no hdmi if the dvi lead is suplied and suports audio i can't see the difference.

[Killjoy]

HDMI will not license it's use on an Open Source receiver, hence the DVI socket.
Other Linux boxes that have HDMI are not Open Source ;-)

[samot4]

Like Killjoy said

Other Linux boxes that have HDMI are not Open Source

The Ipbox/Cube revo does not have a GUI/main application/frontend open source. There´s open source and then there´s open source.

[morfsta]

Heh, I think they all know that dreambox is the main player for CS... Maybe a bit of bias there - open source or not.. ;-)

Who will be the first to take the plunge?

[Aldo]

Who will be the first to take the plunge?

As a Beta Tester, or purchaser.

[F31SAL]

i sold my 7020, and i was gonna go for the 800..

but when i heard this news of beta-testing, i thought i would wait a bit and see if the 8000 is released anytime soon.
soon as it hits the market am getting one!

[2tone]

i see there is two cvs images on the gemini site for it

[wwe]

Is this out yet i have a db800 but want this baby too

wwe

[onecard]

Back of the DM8000, supposed release version.

[brain]

OK - all the hype - now who is selling it - can I buy it anywhere? Brain

[slime]

Has anybody sent dream an email asking/applying to be a beta tester then? Any news if so?

What is this going to retail for (any ideas?)? I wonder what their prefferential price is?

[xanadu]

It's posted another thread that some applied and were accepted as Beta testers, but the 899 Euros price was not enough incentive.

[eme]

i would not buy one at that price, when u look at the problems yet again from dreambox when recivers do go on market, there is nothing but problems yet again. do they not know the meaning of r&d. soory will waite a year after it comes out to see if problems are sorted.

[bobi]

just another delay by DMM , was ment to come in august says the thread title

some said will come in beggining september , well it is now mid month as there is no sigh of dm 8000 yet agein

maybe DMM has taken vication after the money they getherd from dm 8000
betatesters ( hihihihihiih )

im hapy to have sold the 1 i had , was a disaster realy.

cheers

bobi

[samot4]

I thought it was suposed to come out a year ago.

[brain]

Hi Guys
This whole saga is becoming a bit of a joke now. Are we all being very silly and showing such enthusiasm for a company that is obviously playing silly B's? Is it not time now for a very good thread on all the current HD boxes with Linux/usb/computer support so that we can all stop waiting for this mythical DB 8000 and put our money into the best that IS available? my HD tele will be worn out before the 8000 ever appears!!!!:smilielol5:Cheers - Brain

[therazz]

vaporware ;)

[sstylianou1976]

Just posted a image on this receiver now if this is what I think it is then I would assume is due to come out or that OoZoon are Beta testers so will wait and see on this one since it remains to be seen.

According to a DMM employee, the first batch of DM8000s should be delivered today (26.09.2008) at the German headquarters, to be then sent to the beta testers.

[marder]

The first batch of DM8000s is in the process of being delivered to betatesters. One of them has reported having received his on 27.09.2008 via DHL.
It's finally coming !

[wwe]

[BE-COOL]

I predict a strong competition in Linux HD Sat Receivers.

DarkBox 9000

Ipbox 900/910/9000

Kathrein UFS 910/922

AzBox HD

DM8000 HD PVR

I hope that the Dreambox competitors start inovating and stop copying DM, Enigma and CCCam are far from perfect, bring new OS and Emus.

:respect-062:

[TEZAK]

Well I can say that Dreambox 8000 looks amazing, very very nice alot of features it was worth the wait, I am having fun exploring it

[canthackit]

at a reported price of £799 there's not chance of 'em getting my dough.

regards: canthackit

[mini__me]

On the web at £799....doesn't state if in stock or not....

[bobi]

well have ben on the webshops for nearly 2 years now

but seems only few betatesters have got them now

and what apolicy , do not say a **** as betatester
why do not betatesters have the possibility to inform us that are wating ???

if i pay 900 euros for a product then i have the right to do what i please with it, and now let some company tell me what i shall do ,

but from the look of it , seems we will not have dm 8000 in shops before december


cheers

[paul01609]

way out of my price

[dave3dg]

Depends how long the trial goes on for. There's a lot of peeps just like me waiting for the mother to be released :nopity:

It's my opinion there's not much competition for open sourced receivers out there and it's a good job for Dreambox. If there was then I would be moving on like lots of p1ssed off satists.

all dreamboxs have gone up in price they are taking the p*ss with this one say its down to the price the $ is at

[mini__me]

Showing as £869 at the moment!!!

[ian]

guys i remember paying that for an echostar 8700 nearly 20yrs ago.and the chaparral monterey was well over £1000 and neither did anything like what the cheapest digital box will do today,let alone all that the dreambox is capable of.youve all been spoilt over ther last 10yrs with cheap digital boxes.if you want top end you have to pay top end prices,and those prices are still cheap compared to the early days.
for gods sake,peeps will buy a 42 inch plasma tv for over £1000,and then recieve a maximum of 20 or so channels,but your winging at paying this for a box that will give you in excess of 6000 channels,not to mention all of its many other features.ian.

[2tone]

its only went up in price because of the $ thats what the email said that dream sent out nothing to do with how good it is as there is other receivers out there that have hdmi not dvi even though they are the same only thing i think that dream have is cccam

[chelseaboy]

way to much for me i think ill save up and get one in 2015 after the credit crunch.

I was going to invest next year in a hd reciever but i might have to go for a alternative, does anyone have a price for the darkbox 9000hd?

[xanadu]

guys i remember paying that for an echostar 8700 nearly 20yrs ago.............if you want top end you have to pay top end prices,and those prices are still cheap compared to the early days.

Everything is made in China now, and they churn these boxes out for peanuts. There is no excuse for the high price.

The DM800 is a complete disaster of a box in my opinion which is why I did not bother with it, and doubt if the DM8000 is worth a £400 price premium on top of the price of an IPbox 9000

There are better boxes out there for a lot less money, such as the IPBox 9000 and soon to be released Azbox HD.

If the DM8000 is worth £870 then it will have to be truly amazing, and offer something exclusive that existing boxes don't have.

[fino]

Is this for real?
h**p://www.************.org/dreambox-8000-dm-8000-cable-satellite-receiver-p-6.html

its saying 69 units in stock dm8000 at £405 ????????? its dreambox with shop at end sorry if breaking any rules, delete if i am.

[Detlef]

That is a scam site.

The UK importer is based near the M3, J4 and they trade under dr***boxshop.co.uk and list £869.

If you are keen to dosh out that much, I'd wait until Pimp's sponsor advertises them.

[xanadu]

If it's too good to be true, it's a SCAM.

Christmas is coming and so are the scammers!

It's the same every year.

[PieFacE]

I was going to order 2 from that site as well...

Thank god i've recently joined this forum.... :king-042:

So it's still not released then?

[stefor]

xanadu, why is the DM800HD a disaster? I've got one and think it's great. I looked around for reviews for the unit before buying and all references to the unit were positive. Just want to know if it's something I should be looking out for.

Cheers

[xanadu]

xanadu, why is the DM800HD a disaster?

I know a lot of the problems have been fixed now.

The tuner is still giving problems for some.

The SD quality is reported as not that great.

Overheating is still a problem.

The DM800 offers nothing new, as it does nothing better than other boxes out there.

It's nothing special, that's all.

[stefor]

I must admit I have a problem with the tuner. you can be flicking around the channels then suddenly a box appears and says "Tune Failure" or something like that. You then have to flick around to different channels until you find one that seems to kick start it again, sometimes for me that can be on another satellite!!

I quite like the quality of the SD channels and the box seems to stay cool. So, as my box is pretty new, I wonder if they've sorted some of the problems out!

Thanks for answering my question.

Cheers
