That doesn't sound like a bad deal, technologically speaking, it's still a fine box.


Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Pro (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

Many answers to your question can be found in our new and improved wiki.

That in itself isn't really a good way of measuring the quality of a device...

 

But technically spoken, the SoC that it features (bcm7400) had a few features that most other SoC's didn't have at that time, like a complete second video decoder (which gave us a fully functioning PiP) and decoding of mpeg4-vc.

 

On the other hand, it didn't have much RAM nor FLASH memory, it can't switch the OSD to 1920x1080 (1280x720 only) and it can't output at 50/60 Hz progressive.

I don't read PM -> if you have something to ask or to report, do it in the forum so others can benefit. I don't take freelance jobs.
Ik lees geen PM -> als je iets te vragen of te melden hebt, doe het op het forum, zodat anderen er ook wat aan hebben.

Well, I've sold my 2 dm8k, a few years ago,  to my ex-wife (living in DE) for 100 euros each. Installed PLi 2.1 (OpenPLi-2.1-beta-dm8000-20131206-complete.zip) and they love these dm8k's.


2 x ultimo4k (dvb-c fbc + 1 dvb-s2, 8.3r/nb) + een et10k/osmini (geen tuners en dus fallbackclient, nb) met een Synology ds214+ (2 x 6 TB) op DSM 7.1.1 in ziggo oost (voormalig @Home) + A1/A2/A3/HB (TechniSat)

The dm800 clones still sell in Asia like it's the best thing after sliced bread. So, yeah, it's really dependent on what's your criteria.
