DM900 UHD
DM900 UHD
All,
Well my DM900 4k UHD showed up yesterday. Some how in
setting it up I got it stuck in a resolution that my 4k TV won't
display ! So I can't see a picture to fix it ! I've been in this situation
before with other Sat receivers going to another output ( composite )
usually is how you get around this but the Dreambox only has HDMI.
So the only thing I can do is contact Dreambox support. I'm hoping
there is a reset / default to get me back to square one !
This is so frustrating !
For you guys who will be buying this receiver watch out for this !

All,
OK I got that issue resolved....... However after playing with this receiver
for several days now I kinda regrett having purchased it.
This thing is a nightmare ! It is not even close to being user friendly.
It doesn't even come with a decent user's manual. It has an installation
wizered that takes you step by step but if you choose to opt out of a
connection to your network the wizered stops right there and will not
continue the installation ! It's as if an internet connection is mandatory !
Boy is this another device for spying on us ? I'm not sure where I go from
here. I would think again if your considering this receiver !

Re: DM900 UHD
Sorry to hear about all your problems foxcreek. Ever since dream went closed source they have been sliding down hill fast.
A much cheaper solution for 4K might be this receiver

All,
Well with the help of my good friend and fellow engineer buddy
we managed to get the DM900 UHD setup ( what a struggle ).
It looks like the hassel was well worth it...... I'm currently watching
Nature Relaxation 4k TP 4140 Mhz SES 3. My socks are knocked off !

Re: DM900 UHD
Glad to hear you are up and running on dream 4K! Dream has always made a top notch product, but they always ignore us here in north america. I just wish they would pay attention to us and add support for atsc 3.0, 4.2.0 and some functions for moving the dish from the remote.
Try scanning 47w...suppose to be some 4k programming on that bird including some fight ppvs.

fatso,
I am so impressed with nature relaxation I'm not moving from SES3
for awhile ! This is what 4k was designed for.

Re: DM900 UHD
All,
Would someone happen to know if there is a 4k sat receiver designed
for North America ( North American sat file ) on the market ?
It seems that all of them available are designed for Europe. This is a
big problem with the Dreambox more so than other receivers I have
that are designed for the EU such as the Technomate 5402 HD M3 Cl.
We seem to have our head up our ass in the USA !
If somebody doesn't answer the call Directv is going to run away with
the 4k market.
