Thanks for the info.
I will want to buy from Indiana, US. But can I ask some questions and get more knowledge on this forum?
1. I understand it has LAN port and analog modem for internet. Can I use the LAN port for the internet connection instead of the analog modem as I do not use phone internet over here in Nigeria. Will it work same?
2. Is there any site I can get the satellites the dreambox works with?
3. Is there any other thing I will need for it to work or it is a complete solution?
1) Yes, actually LAN is the preferred and commonly used connection I've never seen anybody using that modem port.
2) I guess any satellite, if you have a proper LNB and there is DVB-S or DVB-S2 broadcasted.
3) Depends on your demands. First of all you should flash an up-to-date image (how-to: http://www.dream-multimedia-tv…flashing-firmware-browser). The official images are provided here: http://dreamboxupdate.com/opendreambox/1.6/dm800se/images/
For recording, an internal 2,5" SATA or an external eSATA disk would be fine. But recording on a server or NAS does it quite good too. If you wanna play around a bit, a USB flash drive is a nice gadget (for backup purposes, picons, etc.). Just read around this board and try google, there is enough reading stuff, also in English
1. If you use a router, then it is no problem. The box is then like a PC a part of your home-network
3. If you watch only free-tv it works easy. If you want to watch pay-tv you need a special software (not from here - see board-riles)
If I buy from USA I hope it works well in Nigeria. Can I request that all latest update (software upgrades) be made before sending it to me?
What is the recommended speed of internet connection that will work perfectly.
Hello, any help?
For watching TV you don't need an internet connection.
For installing plugins, speed doesn't really matter. But plugins like MyTube (youtube-client) work best with a connection >1MB/s (just like on your PC).

Sat 129W uses turbo-fec modulation,no Dreambox will work with this.You might want to rethink what you want.
@ kenatonline,yes,I am aware of that.The fact is that it doesn't work,just flickering signal on turbo-fec tp's,not even close to a lock.
It seems that DMM may have intent to make this work,I guess time will tell.
