Take notic of Dreambox

I have been using satellite antenna to receive television. I just started receiving the D2MAC format of analog TV. Now after a few years, satellite television is already something of the past, digital broadcast DVB-S format gradually rises. The first generation of satellite receivers (set-top boxes, AKA demon) to be a satellite television channel vendors renting. 

They only equipped with some humble components, channel switching slow, OSD shabby for a nuisance, not output digital audio, the recipient of low sensitivity, MPEG2 decoder poor results, and even firmware or lock Dreambox 500c. Only by the suppliers with their feelings for you to upgrade the market was also a small number of low-cost digital receiver there, but the supply them with satellite television provided by the special services (such as Electronic Program Guide AKA EPG, Pay Per View AKA PPV ° etc.) is not fully compatible. 

The second generation of satellite receivers to Sat 310/410 and Aston Xenia series as representatives of their set-top boxes is a pioneer bookshelf, and separated from the service providers, and the official decryption card compatible. Through pc, you can set each of them to re-channel position, the management of your favorite channels, and even can use the Serial Line firmware upgrade. 

Now, the third generation of set-top boxes already listed. Dream box users are a highly recommended by the third generation of machines. The IBM PowerPC and MPEG1 / 2 hardware decoding the support of the open-source Linux system with new set-top box is completely open. Dream box provided quality images and sounds; there is many other connected interfaces with the outside world: Ethernet, USB, PS2, Compact Flash and two Smartcard readers. 

Dream box performance excellence: the ability to set up various satellite antennas, satellite channels and no quantity restrictions, fast channel scanning speed, allowing direct digital recording, and so on. If would like to receive encrypted channels, you only need a legitimate company received from the corresponding decryption support for the card and a PCMCIA card CAM. Or you can load the built-in smartcard reader can use the decryption card firmware. As Dreambox 500c more like a computer instead of ordinary consumer electronics equipment, need more time to familiar with it, make the best use of it.

The now development of dream box

In recent years, the rapid development of China's dream box boxes. As resource supply dream box industry or product demand is a series of changes, resulting in the industry is gradually graded from other countries or regions to China the production and manufacturing.

2008 China Digital TV entered a boom period, in addition to digital cable TV is still showing strong growth, the terrestrial digital television with the opportunity of the 2008 Olympic Games has made a breakthrough development. In 2008, despite the snowstorms, earthquakes and the global financial crisis and other objective factors, but the Chinese dream box market is still in the business cycle.
