Just saw this on Satstore http://www.satstore.co.uk/digirec.htm:

Quote:

"The DM500S has been discontinued by the Manufacturer due
to problems with counterfeit copies coming from China.
A new secure model DM500S-plus should be available soon."

What do they mean by new secure model, I wonder? They're not just referring to the hologram on the box, are they? Anyone know about this 'plus' model?

News to me. I wonder what they have planned?

I understood that they had discontinued the 500 when they introduced the 600.

As far as I know, they were the real deal. I read a couple of posts elsewhere which indicated as much anyway.

wasn't so as a member of ds forum got one and it turned out to be an unofficial 500s

BGonaSTICK · 17-08-07, 09:56 PM

Yeah? Off for a read...

wod · 17-08-07, 10:25 PM

Sounds like sour grapes to me. The sat world is full of people trying to cause trouble for others.
