This question has been asked many times and you will find the answer in old threads.It does seem to be a matter of opinion but i like the dbox2.
Whatever you decide DO NOT BUY A DBOX 1 they are worthless.

Thanks I have looked around and I think im going to get a Dbox 2 but what make to get is the problem I think the nokia is men to be the best one but. I wonted to ask as there more guys on this forum with the Dbox boxs and I bet there had more then one box so could say with one thay found best.


Just phoned VM and £11 a mth for the phone line for 12 mth's so not bad at all when you get the free tv of them all so .
Then when you add your own box you get loads for your money its got to be a bargine.

I have sky tv so I could give that up and save money all so

Hi

Dbox2, if you can get a good/new one would be the dogs as far as 3rd party boxes are concerned, personally it would have to be a nokia everytime for me.

As has been pointed out do not touch a dbox1.

For me eurovox wouldnt come close to a dbox2.

I wouldnt look on fleabay but Im sure someone will point you in the right direction.

Regards

Hi dude thanks for getting back to me I cant say I used a FTP program for some years but. I it should not be to hard as long as there somthing for me to folow. Flashing I flashed my my Eurvox box if that counts or drag and drop files to crack software and so on. Im ok on a computer I would say .

I was looking at Dbox 2 more becouse your ment to be able to do more with them hen a plug and play box like Eurvox. Thats why I was looking around the Dbox's.

As you you Eurvox is out the box and works nice I just fancy having a go at playing around with a box

Thanks bud
