I've just got hold of a couple of DM500 clones (Branded Eurovox Ultra). They have Enigma images loaded, have Ethernet connections to connect to your PC and/or Internet. You can record/playback from your PC, update over the Internet - best of all, it's little bigger than a VHS video tape

I don't think the picture quality is as good as the Eurovox Max V and not even close to the D-box2, but I like a sharp, high-contrast picture.

They are £75 + £10 delivery - e-mail to order or for further details

Hi, just wondering what image you have loaded on to these?

They all appear to come with an old DW Enigma image on them, I've updated a couple to a newer DW (v2) image - it seems as good as any. I tried the DS image and a couple of Neutrino images but didn't really get on with them.

With the DW image, I got CIFS mounts working and from that both record and playback work, Internet updates work. I even managed to convert and upload my D-Box bouquets.

One useful feature of Enigma is that background scanning is on by default, you can also manual scan from a single frequency. Enter your default frequency and select network search, in about 4 minutes, you have all the channels in your area
