If the provider change only one single bit you have to wait for a update from the manufacturer. Nobody else can code anything for a eurobox/starview/replay and so on. If the manufacturer stop the support for a specific box the game is over if a update is needed.
The software for dbox2/dreambox is open and anyone around the world can try to code an fix.
The contra against the dbox2 is the age.

Comes in a brand new condition, Dbox2 doesn't. Dreambox can be a fake, Dbox2 can't. You take your chance and choice. The Dreambox & Dbox2 are well supported and can do the same job. The only drawback with Dbox2 is they are all 2nd hand.

Dboxes were for the PREMIER cable service in Germany (same as Sky boxes for UK). They are no longer made and some enterprising people in Germany found that they could be flashed with a Linux based operating system to enable them to be used for free TV. That is why they are 2nd hand. The Dreambox was based on the Dbox2 specifically for the market created by the demand for modded Dbox2's. You can get a legit Dreambox from here. http://www.satstore.co.uk/

Yes, send him a mail and ask for a better price. 135 including delivery should be possible.
