oh and do eny get the full bev guide...........last when i had the nfusion hd it only got 2 hours of guide


i know there is 3 different dream link boxes.....witch is the better

i remember reading about the jynks box i think....hows that....


thanks for your time........just wanting to stay in the loop and as well im sure im not the only one wanting to know

[satb]

good thread I am eager to see the reply's myself as to witch people like the most

I myself still have a lime sat ultra and it works well for guide 7 days on sd channels but sometimes can be a prick to get server to connect

i have been looking for a hd box but i don't watch tv a lot so have been watching what others say

[maird57]

I use the Dreamlink T5. I like it a lot. I use two of them. It only give about 2 hours. I think you can get more but I'm still trying to figure it out.

[maird57]

Just figured out how to get more than 2 hours on Bev. Turn to channel 1199 (199) and leave it there for about 30 seconds. Only thing is once you turn off the receiver you need to go back and do it again when you start watching tv again.

[tbird686]

well thats not bad 30 seconds.....

does it run hot? any issues with it?

[KIDWCKED]

T5 ...;).....

[nobodyspecial]

t5 and t4 are identical,dlhd is still a very good box too
t6 is a waste of time

[nobodyspecial]

I used to always get more than a couple of hours ,usually a couple of days
open up guide and hit the yellow button for dish,blue for bev leave it for a couple of minutes

[tbird686]

okay t5.....

is there any clone issues to worry about with the box or they didnt clone it......i like the real deal dont want to mess with clones

and is there a recommended / trusted site to buy from......or has the best price....in canada

thanks

[nobodyspecial]

[maird57]

well thats not bad 30 seconds.....

It does run hot. I'm using an auxiliary fan as precaution only

[nobodyspecial]

Yes I agree with buying from Patriot. I purchased my second one online for a hundred bucks a few years ago

[tbird686]

it $240 ouch.....time to start to roll the pennies ........

[maird57]

it $240 ouch.....time to start to roll the pennies ........

I would still consider a used one on kijiji

[marcel.crash]

it $240 ouch.....time to start to roll the pennies ........

shop around you can get then cheeper than that i seen them 175.00 on line

the t5 is in my opinion one of the best out there got two of them never turn them off no heat problem

[satb]

sounds like the t5 is the way to go

PATRIOT electronics+dreamlink T5+SATB=GOOD TIMES

DreamBox 500-S - about 10 years old and still going strong - only gets the standard def channels but is rock solid - pretty cheap investment to get a sh*t load of channels.

If you insist on hi def then I think DreamLink 4/5 can't be beat but then you're looking at an additional $150 bucks or so investment

[riverman]

NfusionHd plus a $20.00 (bought in a 2nd hand store) router still going strong for me

[tbird686]

but the thing i would like is the full bev epg

when i had nfusion last it only could do 2 hours of epg.....

you will have no issues with bev epg

You know, lots of issues could be easier if we started a project to use some of the low-cost modules in ways other than in the boxes they are designed for--a $20 jb200 module interfaced to something that does usb interface (or maybe retro-fit to freesat $30 box) and you get 7 day EPG and maybe don't have to buy a $200 box.

when scanning 91 or 82...is there s certain tp it should be on?
think the skew was off adjusted 91 is okay but few channels on 82 keep going signal loss

no ,you just scan.
You can check your tp quality by going into manual scan and scrolling through the frequencies

[tbird686]

well earlier they were blue 95 /95 then they would go red......

could soft ware make it not stay locked in?

Sonicview SV8000HD, still going strong. Also have a Sonicview SV-360 Premier that is still working.

T5 here. very happy with it

[dukeathome]

my friend bought a Linkbox 9000i local a few months ago back and has hated it,he ordered a Dreamlink T5 yesterday,he's calling the Linkbox a P.O.S.

[johnnylarue]

The sv8000's are good. Mine has been around since March 2007. Gotta keep them cool with a laptop cooler or fan though. I bought a T5 off of kijiji recently and I think it a better receiver than the sv8000.

[silvia]

T5 all the way! But.. Not able to fast forward ( image sound not the same after.. ) just skip.. Only negative thing! :)

Great idea - wish I had the skills to help with something like that
