Victoria Dreambox 8000HD-PVR machine evaluation


Last August, "Landscape Evaluation Room" was one of Victoria made a simple prototype DM800 evaluation, February 3 this year, we have received the Victoria DM800 manufacturers to provide an improved version of a machine, the machine relative to the traditional DM800 compared with the hardware functionality further.

The function of appearance:



In order to prevent long-distance transport of bump caused damage to the machine, sent us this station using the Victoria DM800V8 evaluation machine outer corrugated, high foam sponge covering the inner double packaging, in turn open the packaging and the manufacturers DM500V8 found DM800V8 the same machine, using self-designed color box packaging. In the bottom of the packaging box, highlight the two major characteristics of the aircraft, an increase of the cooling fan, DC power control two switches.



Internal hardware:

Open the cover,  DM800 8000HD-PVR the machine's internal hardware, shown in Figure 8, compared with the test sample compared to the first obvious change is the installation of a heat sink fan. In order to reduce the height so as not to affect the cooling fan assembly board tuner installed, the heat sink out of a circular area of the middle of milling, and then embedded in micro-fan to the region, making the height and heat sink fan flush.

Use recommended:

The DM800 8000HD-PVR machine based on the traditional two hardware features to add, make full use of the machine as the original free space, so add appropriate location, layout reasonable, consistent with a 11Modem RJ components covered circuit board which makes the machine more powerful hardware.


At the same time for the after-sales warranty, circuit board manufacturers in the memory, FLASH, and LNB tuner board has exclusive control component chip pin brush with red paint in the hope these important components are not replaced, the warranty in order to avoid disputes.

Hardware removal in the evaluation process, "Landscape Evaluation Room" found a small flaw: the integrated tuner board components to the circuit board is installed, the pad of the foam pad two blocks, especially one still stuck in the Tuner heat the bottom of openings, a serious impediment to heat.
