Good morning all. i used to do this hobby a few years back i had a dish 1000.2 and a sv360 with ihub with a external hdd. i wated to get back into this being that i still have my sv360 box. i just dont have the ihub and the dish. i am trying iptv dont like it. it has buffering issues. i wanted to know if i get back into this would it be better cause as i remeber it was a stright link from a dish no servers or internet traffic. so basically all i need to get back is a dish 1000.2 and an ihub correct and a sub for the ihub? any information would be great thank you.

If you still have that 1000.2 then the receiver with the turbo board(cheap board) . No ihub.

I said you CAN NOT use the 360. The T6 is a iks/iptv receiver combo. Will need the dl300 to work.

this is what i found

make sure the receiver is not a T6 clone.
Ask the seller and ensure he garanties it is genuine Dreamlink T6
Pictures can be deceiving, do not trust a pic from ebay. The actual receiver may not be the one in the pic

IF YOU HAPPEN TO BUY A CLONED T6 RECEIVER, DO NOT LOAD OR EVEN ATTEMPT TO LOAD A BIN FILE ONTO THAT CLONE.
The visible differences that I can see, comparing the original T6 I have here, compared with photos seen on the web

-Mine has the rear power switch with Off / ON showing
-Others has the rear power switch with O/-- showing

-Mine has on the outer gift-box and on the top flap, the bar code is on the same tag as the zone tag, one ontop of the other.
-Others have the bar code on same flap as the zone tag but they are separate.
*I also have 6 or 7 other dreamlink original receivers and they all are the same, with the bar code sticker ontop of the Zone tag.

-Made in Korea insignia is permanent part of the gift-box cover's front design. It's shown in bottom right hand corner, front of gift-box cover.
-Other don't seem to have that. The Made in Korea insignia is missing from box cover.
*I also have 6 or 7 other dreamlink original receivers and they all are the same, with the Made in Korea insignia on the front of gift-box cover.

-My remote keypad's record button has a red dot
-Other remote keypad's record button has a white dot

on another site someone told me if i wanted fta why was i using dish 1000.2 thats for provider sats well ist that what i want idk if he new what i was talking about. he also said the dl500 wouldnt be good for tha cause it programmed for European sats not north American sats.

Sammy

Yeah don't know what he/she is talking about. A t4/5 for now and a iptv receiver later in life.

With the same dl100 that the T5 uses the T4 is the same receiver as a T5.

T6 is not garbage. It is just a different animal , which came out and brought both worlds (iptv and iks) into one receiver. It has its quirks as any android will, but it broke some ground and still can be a decent receiver. But is not what chris is looking for anyway.

The T5 or the T4 are the receivers of choice when it comes to an fta only receiver and Dreamlink.
Both the T5 and the T4 are HD receivers and work well.
Might be difficult finding a T4 but may find a T5 easy enough.
