Just got email stating dreamboxmagic is closing down as most people now buying direct from the chinese dreambox maker at dvbseller.com

I must say the prices have blew me away! dreambox 500 cable and sat models £39.99, also new 600s and 7020s model.etc..

For those not a dreamboxmagic customer before, we all got a 4% discount code "dvbsellerinvite" to use also.

Off to order my boxes for my family and friends:)

Its a nice site and the prices are good even after adding the high postage charges (Dispatched from China).
I presume its genuine and reliable ,seems to be after talking to a customer agent there.
This will be the death knell for resellers whose margins will be negligible.
I wonder how Dream Multimedia will respond to such a prominent site selling clones.

Yep, Im sure our local reseller will not be happy bunny, but hey, why pay nearly twice the price hes getting them for direct.

Just ordered a few C & S from dvbseller.com so will keep you informed of the progress. Their customer service stated will have tracking number tomorrow or Friday.

Paid by paypal anyways so Im covered:)

Yea seen that ages ago, obviously a competitor of theirs and trying to scare people into not buying clones. I know may others who brought from dreamboxmagic without any problems at all.

Its just a shame really as they gave good customer support and help, especially when I was new to learning how to flash etc...

thats your opinion i believe the report they were been brought to court and now have dissapeard thats good enough for me

Very true ,I have no time for the local traders.
DVBseller's prices are very low.
I think they will start off at a low price to wipe out the competition then gradually increase their prices.

I agree with you that report is BS they don't blow up the clones just get bricked sometimes if you use the firmware for the official boxes.

Aside from that theyr practically the same you might as well save yourself the money and go for the cheaper ones.

After all most things are made in China as it is.

Thats correct, they do not blowup. Regards firmware I read do not put a Gemini image onto a clone box as their firmware has a virus/trojan to detect clone box.

would a dreamworld 2.1 image work with one from dvbseller?

hi, as you also bought the boxes from dvbseller did you got slapped with custome charges because i cheecked the satus of my pacerl and it show "AWAITING CUSTOMS CHARGING".for the past 2 days now.

Nope I didnt. It was delivered by parcelforce and was in customs for 2 days also...but no charges where added. I think they price the units about $15?? which helps with not getting charged:)
