Yes, i am using the same from last 2 years, it works well. For 5.5 k you will be getting the clone dm500s. The original one is no longer being manufactured.
The clone one works great and you will not face any issues.

Hi,

All STBs that are currently available can decode encrypted channels. This is a common feature. However, a decoder that is able to decode encrypted channels would not enable the user to watch the channel(s), unless the valid smartcard is inserted, which authorizes the user/STB.

The exception with dreambox is that you can obtain 3rd party firmwares using which the box can enable you watch pay channels.
However, dreambox does not support/endorse such firmwares/softwares, and voids official warranty.

Dreambox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

regards,

Nitin.

I don't think we should worry about warranty if it helps in preventing these content providers from fleecing us. END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS.

Just tell us how to do it.

Please don't buy dreambox just like that, it will not help in any way, you need to have your own setup of dishes and it works through cardsharing, you will not be able to use the same with your tata sky or dish tv box, there are lot of other things to know before you end up buying the box.

I don't know, but it would seem to me, from what some of the experts have posted over here, that the Dreambox may not be quite ligit - therefore no one's willing to talk openly about it.
