ok people, im after a second box to complement my eurovox max and was wondering about these DreamBox thingys, as they appear to be the cheapest cable boxes.
dont mind a bit of research and have read up alittle, have flashed my own eurovox box and a few others for friends, just wondered what these are like???

they're pretty much the same as a Dbox except they have one scart compared to two and they're much much smaller

The trouble is with some of them they can come with bad hardware, so if you buy yours for about £70-£75, then it would be a good deal, but if you do buy yours cheaper(new not used) then expect a performance drop

These are more supported with enigma images and the Dbox is more supported by neutrino images. Of course you can get neutrino images for the dreambox and enigma for the Dbox, but these are in the minority
