I'm looking to get a cable box, but which one ?

I've been reading this forum for a while, and seen problems that occur on different boxes, and concluded that the best one to get is the dreambox 500c or the dbox2.
Would you agree with this, and if so which one should I go for out of those two ?

I welcome your comments.............

I don't actually have one myself but this is from reading all the different forums. The cable in from CC needs to be have splitter one to your subbed box and one to your Dm 500c. There should be a RF on your the cable goes into there. The Ethernet port is for connecting to your pc so that you can manage the DM 500c and also record to your pc. the RS232 is to flash the f/w. From what I have read the Eurovox are great and are literlly plug and play. The dreambox are crap if have low signals otherwise they cando more than most of other boxes. Sorry a bit breif.
