    tinbox134 what are you talking about mate, are you telling us not to buy from this company or what???
    i just looked at the websites and there are different names and i phoned one and he is chinese that is chinawholesale.com and i also phoned satellite-receiver.com is also a chinese bloke, but i phoned the number for the dreambox store and he was welsh, and seemed legit enough to me so i ordered with him.
    but i agree the chinawholesale and satellite reciever.com are chinese people, they aint even based in the uk.
    SO WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL US??
    Are you trying to tell us not to buy or to buy from them????

    depends on what you use to flash it if you use flash wizard pro then you will have problems but if you use dream up it will take longer but it will be hassle free

    Hi Dave,

    How easy is this to setup compared to a dbox?

    and you mentioned the box updates the keys automatically, so i assume you do not have to updates the keys if they change?

    if so does it use the Internet to do this or via the cable connection to Virgin Media?

    Many Thanks in advance

    if you can flash a dbox you shouldnt have any trouble flashing a dreambox,once the box is connected to an active cable feed it will update away,if you have a null modem cable and a serial port on your computer you can use dream up to flash the box which is the easiest if you dont then you can just ftp over to the box
