i have my dreambox
and 512 internet connection .. working perfectly
my subscription is with some1 in Bahrain .. and its gr8 freezs rarely

freezing is normally due to the load on the same card or server .. the more people on the same server makes it slower, freezes more often,

or sometimes becuase of the position of LNB is not accurate but if u r getting other channels from same satellite clear ... so its not the position definetly

and internet connection if its a dial up connection u can blame but DSL 1 mb connection i don't think so .. better find some other service provider
