Hi,
I want to change my samsat receiver and go for a dreambox, i live in KSA and here as far as i know genuine dreamboxes do not exist, only Chinese clones.
I even asked the company (in germany) for a reseller and they replied with a stupid ticket :angry_smile:

Now, my question: is there a difference between original and copied products (i'm thinking to go for a 500), i know that for sure there is, but i mean is the difference worth that i order it online and pay it double for shipping. (i'm a programmer and i intend to fully use advenced features, streming...)

Thank you in advance for advicing me.

I am using a chinese copy for a 4 months and no problems at all it does all the things lthat the original can and its much cheaper

many thanks dude for the precision.:thumbs_up:

parad0x_i · 09-01-09, 12:29 AM

The only difference is the price!..

Since you want to explore the possibilities of the receiver it is better to go for the cheaper price so if anything goes wrong( which is almost imposible to happen) then you would not feel guilty for the money you have spent.
I have a clone so i can do all my tests for over a year without any problem.

I am a complete noob in this field, but would like to experiment
ruining the official box would be an expensive shame though
could you give some names of clones so I can have a look around if I can find a place where to get them
regards

I do not recommend to sell with countries where there is no freedom of thought, child labor, protecting trade union!:angry_smile:

imported_fredje · 12-01-09, 03:38 PM

that would limit the possibilities quite a bit

chlankboot · 12-01-09, 03:55 PM

big thanks 4 all you guys for the replies. things are a bit clearer now:wink_smile:

Ragabbader · 12-01-09, 05:36 PM

If the price is the only difference, then why does it exist? I mean, why aren't they sold for the same price even though they are EXACTLY the same as you guys say. I just don't get it.
