Hi, think our Pace box may be on the way out. So thinking about a dreambox from Snellyvision. Can anyone tell me of it will run directly from the 12v in my van. Also will it take my freesat card? Thanks in advance. :Smile:

Ken if your at the new year meet
I have a dream box you can play with for the duration, to see if you take to it (I didnt)as far as I remember the dream box acts as an emulator for the sky card and plays all it would in a pace box
For the uninitiated and in simple terms a dream box is supposed to receive any and all signals and decode them it also can be told via programing it is any box you want it to be. Hence Dream Box

a new white sky card does work in a dreambox....

but not for the SKy SPorts and Sky Movie channels....yet.....(at least not reliably enough)

There are also issues that they do ont keeop the sky card alive, and the card must be put back into a sky receiver to keeop the card alive, as the nonsky boxes are having issues with the "signals tht keep the card updated.

Thanks Geo really appreciate that but we can'tmake the New Year meet. We are in no hurry tho' as we use hook up sites in winter so can take the box from home. If you still have it we are at Statford show for the week could maybe try it there if thats OK? Would be nice to try before buy. Is yours for sale? ::bigsmile:

All I know is that since my White sky card arrived and was activated my Blue card is dead and the white card does nothing except Freesat or Free Sky Channels. And yes I subscribe to everything except Sport.

you will probably have to update the software in the box, so that it is more compatiable with the enw white cards, as is if you had old software in it will not be compatiable with the software required for the new white cards!
