I was offered a dm800hd pvr bl 75 for €180 but ive heard the reader burns the card chip, is this true or can I set the freq in the cam.cfg file just like a dm500 ??

180 euros is a fecking good price and you dont really need to have a Sly card anyway as you can always do it the other way round and still obtain channels.

either way you should have bought and if you wasnt planning to use then you could have sold the box to someone else and still made a profit on it.

any sat box's internal reader has a voltage of 5v. ideally you want a bit less for the more delicate cards

it is a good price

well I still have the option to buy it, the reson I didnt is because ive also heard that the botloader 75 version had some glitching problems on the hd channels, I was planning to use it to replace my dm500 for a small share no more than 7 or 8, I might reconsider now.. lol..

yes very true and just make sure that the box has the new ALPS tuner before you buy it and btw I have 2 of em with BL76 but can downgrade to Bl75 if needed too.

Its a SIM 2.0.1 and as long as you have an inline amp it works perfectly fine on the HD channels.

Both my boxes work a treat with an inline AMP (20DB).

Plus the peeps that I know have never had any problems with it either.
