jack, you may not get so many cold stares at christmas. however with clone boxes you simply must include an in-line amplifier at the backend of your dm800 to ensure that the tuner will give proper clarity on hd channels.
fintannl hd channels not a problem for now,but will keep this in mind for the future.
thanks/jack....

So Could someone recommend a good box to start on and possibly somewhere to buy one?

Are the clones reliable?

Thanks

The DM500S clones are the cheapest option to get started with.

Once you have 1mb (on the client end at least you should be fine). At least 1mb on the server end, but preferably a bit higher, and a decent box as a the server box. Clone DM500S are fine as clients but the server box should be a bit better at least.

Whatever you say, say nothing when you talk about you know what for if you know who might hear you, you know what youll get. Youll be sent off to you know where for you would not know how long. Maybe I could search through the threads so you dont have to ??

SG8, can you direct me where to get info on how to set up as a serv, 4 bodys, if possible.

Guys, to those that are intersested in the saga of the 800 box, it looks as if it can go on as long as Eastenders, they won't reply to any of my emails, since thursday last,
I have put it to PayPal, to see if they can resolve the problem or get my money back, i'm not sure if i can name the Company at this time, but i'm sure someone will inform me if it legal to do so.

Thanks Mickah, not sure if it was legal or not, but as you say, 'or Shrek' better in than out. Dreaminthebox, ahh that feels better, but i would prefer if the machine was working, its so frustrating because I know the box has only a minor problem with the Tunar, and can be easly sorted, if they sent a new Tunar i could do it myself, I will keep the forum posted if there are any changes, because there are a lot of folk reading this forum that would think twice before buying.

yes dan you have to open a port on your friends router portforward.com show you how ,first you need to look for your friends router in this list
http://portforward.com/english/routers/p...routerindex.htm
then click on default guide for that router for instructions to open the port . your friend will then need to set up a dyndns hostname and download and install the dyndns updater (its free ) go here to set up a dyndns host name
http://www.dyndns.com/ the hostname will replace the ip address on your mates box and off course he will need a static ip on both his dreambox and pc .your mate can download the updater here
http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/
you can get more info from my tutorial by clicking on the link in my signature area.

naz for around £200 you could get a dm800 hd

Naz, think carefully about where you buy your box from, I recently bought a 800 from 'dreaminthebox' and my experience with them is not good, 6 days old, and the box fell over, I have sent e-mails to them,they responded, with little sympity, and no Joy at this stage on how to fix the box, there is a problem with 'Tunar'. So beware.

naz you could try deal extreme for a dm500s (they seem to be pretty good from what senior members have said on this forum)
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.29102
or ebay
http://shop.ebay.ie/sis.html?_nkw=Dreamb...ellite+receiver
http://shop.ebay.ie/sis.html?_nkw=DreamC...ooler+DM800+800
if you can pay by paypal then you can always get your money back .

I would go with piopat on this one, they may be a tad dearer but seem to be reliable with plenty of backup available, again its your choice at the end of the day.

sorry for double posting guys piopat this is what i have
ok sorry there wasnt much info b4 was getting late this is what ive done so far.....ok so i have myserver box setup and im able to share internaly but looking to share with nextdoor so i have set my ip to static and i have opened port 12000 on my router also i have set up a dyndns acount and downloaded the updater and i have changed the port in my server box to 12000 from 80 and the client box is still at 80 i have also changed the c line in the client box to C:XXXXX.dyndns.org 12000 user pass but there is just a few things i am unsure of...........

when setting up my dyndns am i right in thinking when entering the ip it should be the srver box ip?? if so when i start the updater it says current ip and its totaly different to the one i set on my dyndns

when opening the port on my router i used simple port forwarding so i checked on my router on the firewall rules and it says
inbound services
1 enabled service namee tv action allow always lan server ip address 192.168.x.x which is my pc ip is this right

your dyndns will replace the server box ip (which must be static) so put the static ip of the server into your dyndns account ,download the updater and put in the username and password of your dyndns account and the updater should say synchronising with your dyndns.you can leave the port in the server box set to 80.the only difference between the internal c line and the external is that you substitute the ip address with the dyndns hostname and of course you add a username and password ,the f line is the username and password you put in the c line and any additions you choose to add to it.
