Dreambox 800 HD vs 500 HD

    I have big confussion which one will be better for me. Both have very simmilar design with only small diffrences.
    500 HD has faster CPU but 800 HD has (originally from the shop) USB connectors. I don't care other diffrences especially OLED display, HDMI connector, box size etc.
    The last think I am thinking is receiver temperature, I guess 500HD will be more hot than 800 HD, but I think designers were also aware of this problem.


    Are there any other diffrences between this receivers that may influence on my decision?


    Does CPU speed influence on something in sat receivers? Channel switching? Booting time?

    wait couple of months to get DM800 se, with new processor new tuner

    The DM500HD is not hot at all - quite on the contrary, lukewarm at best. With an eSATA disk I can very well do without USB. According to forums quite a few people have exchanged their DM800 for the DM500HD for its superior speed and its media capabilities.
