Dreambox satellite receiver

[Vultch]

Anybody on here use a Dreambox for satellite reception

I didn't know they still worked. I used to program Nokia D-boxes for cable but since moving to the back of beyond where cable is just a dream I've not done any. I seem to remember dream boxes being a pita to program or codes didn't last long which was why i never bothered doing any. Perhaps it's time for a little research to get one done

A friend has one and swears by it...I need to do more research as well

I used to run a Nfusion Nova a few years ago, but things went way downhill and I have been out of the hobby for a while now. Are people using private keys these days, or what?

Card sharing is the "new' thing.. these devices need a broadband connection to function and get the key via the net

Ya, the Nova used IKS via ethernet connection as well in the end. What satellites are you guys hitting over there, what networks are you watching? I'm guessing the Dishnet/ExpressVu birds are out of range?

I am in the same boat, I need to find out more
