you mean i can use a *** digibox hdd in a dreambox 800?
that would be great, cause i can´t get a 500gb hdd for less then € 50 (even chinas ali baba gangsters ask for 50 €)
can u use it in a dreambox?
thanks

Yup any hard drive from a sly+ box can be used in an 800,500 or vu..
Seen them knocking around the freebie sites and on ebay very cheap!

***+ Hard drives are 3.5" so will not fit dm800,500 or vu solo before anyone buys one for this.

thanks, but are the connections ok to hang it outside from dreambox?
thanks m8s

DM800 has an E sata connection on the rear so you can connect it that way or convert it to a usb HDD drive.

You will get a second hand 2.5" sata drive just as cheap mate.A far better option imo.
-
Oooooooooooops :P
They can be used like but won't fit in...
My bad!
-
If you were to "hang it outside lol" you will require a seperate power supply for a 3.5" as it has a greater power consumption.
