no m8 when cable goes pear shaped theres not much you can do with that box i myself have gone for a azbox you can get a cable tuner for this box for £50 and when cable does go theres alot you can do with this box
imo i would start looking into the sat side of things a protek/nanoxx box are good start for a bigginer

hi boomer
it only the same as the dream box m8 but it will decode 4.2.2 its still in beta f/w at the moment m8 and buggy at times
i new this when i bought it i think it will become a great box when f/w is ironed out
some of the retailers have hyped this box up
and alot of very newbies have bought it and do not no how to use it then they are complaining its no good when its only lack of knowlage on using it
i think boxes like this should be sold with a warning (not for muppets)

cheops works very well with this box
