    would you write the same message to Mercedes to make themstop the Lexus sales ?


    This is a wrong comparaison dude ! It is ridiculous to pay 1000 euros for a small box with few chip in it just to watch tv.


    The problem started with the 7025 which was expensive because there was just a twin tuner in it => price 2 times higher than 7020 !!! Crazy isn't it ?


    So it is the same for the 8000 which is double price of the 800.


    Indeed clones are already available for 400$. May be new time bomb will be available for these clone ?

    Yes, I guess that the problem comes from the tuner which returns a bad value for the signal strenght because otherwise you can't watch the tv with 20% of SNR ! Otherwise I am not so sure that it's a software problem.


    I am a dreamer, I have a 7000 since years, I am verry happy with it, I just want to move on. upgrade to HD.


    So I am sure I will buy a 800, but I more and more conviced to wait the new release.


    So again : when ?

    Dear Olove,


    I have a DM 7000 and I have the intention to buy a DM 800.
    My friend has bought a 800 some months ago and he still have problems with it :
    1) after shutdown he can not boot, he must plug and unplug power cable several times in order to restart the db.
    2) It is impossible to tune the dish, the signal is very low on his 800. I had to go to him with my DM 7000 to tune his dish. On my 7000 the signal was good. Once tuned, we put the 800 (in place of the 7000) and then he was able to watch tv. The signal is still very low on his 800.


    This is why I asked the question.
