What is the best box to buy on the market

Hey Addicts

I haven't been on ere since the old anologue box went off. However these new boxes are popping up on the market where they connect to your modem & you get all sly channels with a dreambox.
which is the best box to get? how difficult are these to program to work as I want to buy a standard one & install everything myself as it could save me loads.. where is the best place to buy?
How do these work? ppl who buy them pre programed say they are guarantee'd for a year then you have to pay more for the second year?
any advise would be helpful..

thankz

 

hi are you going to connect to cable or sat?

 

gonna connect to sat

 

no one else got any advise

 

for cable go for kryptview for satellite i think its dreambox, spiderbox etc. they all have their pro's and con's, look around on this forum

 

i got a blade 7000s hd box on sat, excellent picture quality, hd channels are fantastic.

 

For IKS there's Protek/Nanoxx, Spiderbox etc. For C/S there's Openbox HD PVR, Dreambox800 ect. Google is your friend mate.

Oh if you're looking for sly alone look at the openbox or dreambox or Blade or anything that runs cccam.

 

blade. for sly and other sats.picture quality is fab true 1080p hd and 3d ready with cccam and newcamd. kryptview for cable.

 

whats Openbox on sat like? compared to say, Blade. is the quality similar? i currently have a blade on sat, and im thinking of getting a second box, and im thinking weather to get a second sat box or go for a kryptview...whats your advise guys?

 

I have an Openbox and have to say that the picture quality is excellent, cant compare it to the Blade as this is my first HD box, but it is a good box for the price.

@Icemen it all depends on what exactly you want HD/SD, PVR etc, if SD is good enough for you then the Dreambox 500s is an excellent starting point, or HD on a budget the Openbox S9 is a very good box, these are sat boxes so you will need a sat dish (Sly dish is good enough)

If however you want cable then look into the Kryptview 780.

To me it depends on where you are UK/Ireland as to where to order from and what box you decide to get, if you want I will send you a PM on where to buy from.

Do not buy any box preprogrammed with channels as the quality of the service you get can be very bad or you could get lucky (but I doubt it) again when you have your box get back on and you can be pointed in the right direction.

Hope this helps you a bit.

 

Hey Dub, thanks a lot dude.
Im in UK, & already have sly dish so will dreambox be the best option? what do you suggest? Ppl who I know who got it tell me its only for a year & then you have to pay more? Can you send me a PM on how & where to buy from? If they are not preprogrammed can you help me set 1 up?
your help is much apprieciated

 

to be honest, the dreamboxs are bit harder to get going than say the Blades, if you know linux or used it before, fire away, but if your looking for something thats a good pic and easy to flash, go for the blade box, its HD also, but have a good read about, there is excellent tuts on here by Piopat on the dreamboxs, but like I say, if your not up to using Linux, have a look at the blade box

 

thanks Mick, which is the better box? which has the better picture. Do they both have boxoffice channels? where is the best price to buy one, you can send me a personal PM if you want.

The blade has HD and its easier to use, ya dont need linux to use or flash,

 

@icemen sorry for not replying sooner to you. I have been reading about the Blade box and I have to say it looks very impressive, but I dont have one, I have an Openbox s9 HD PVR it is very cheap but an excellent box and so easy to set up, I will send you aPM shortly on where to buy etc shortly.

 

also the blade comes with a gift, wont go to much into it, but Skywonder do em, check out their site for a price and compare it to Dub12daves if pass's it on to you

 

Which blade box is it? blade BM500 or the blade BM700s? what is the gift?

 

I have answered your PM icemen and the free gift is usually connection to a server for a set period of time.

 

Has anyone compared the blade box & the openbox? which is better?
