I bought the eagle receiver a couple of weeks ago and can say that i am really impressed with it. I had not ventured in to the world of dreambox before, but was drawn to this box after reading of it;s capabilities on another forum, and the fact that it worked exactly like a dreambox 500s. I
have managed to set it up easily enough and have it communicating with my wireless router. At the moment i am receiving premiere, digitv,tps. All in all i am delighted

yes it is a clone of a dm500

Dream release dm500 plus to try and thwart these copies on the market.

dm 7020 will cease production for the same reason.

range will be 7025 / 600 / new 800 planned and 8000 manyana!

Nanochikin had an Eagle for a while. His comments about them are not kind!

nanochickin · 17-01-09, 01:52 AM

What you mean the one where i said they are sh*te

Biggest box of bo**ocks i have ever purchased, Even my TM9100 put it to shame and that was bad

The Eagle box cannot power a motor correctly, end of story. I tried every image i could find with it and tried 2 motors with it. Neither worked correctly even though they were on the supposed ok list

Save your money and buy at least a DM600 clone, at least they work correctly

there ok moveing stab motor but only on short cable run plus you need better power pack than the ones they come with.

Cannot power a motor ? - biggest load ? - are you mad - eagle boxes are the best $ you can buy - just a leaning curve.
Mine worked right out of the box - motor no problem - do not believe all you read..
