whats the price on that box??

I ask this because I would never buy a pre configured box. As you dont know how good that so called server is / will be.

I haven't but personally I wouldn't buy anything from a 'company' that only has an email address in the contact details, even more so if that is a gmail address.

A whois on the domain throws up a bit more info but it's odd that they choose to hide such details on their website.

registrant-firstname: Terrance
registrant-lastname: Donno
registrant-organization: satstore.co.uk LTD
registrant-street1: 17 The Downs
registrant-pcode: WA14 2QD
registrant-city: Altrincham
registrant-ccode: GB
registrant-phone: +44.1587475589

Why dont you just buy the box without this free gift non sense and then learn the rest by using Google. Buying a pre configured box is a CON

Its not that hard !!!!

kind regards

my point being is that if you look hard enough mate u can get a clone Dm800 HD for 160 quid.

then you can find a server with a simple google search and use it for what ever you want.

200 Quid for clone which is preconfigured and knowing that server will be probs overloaded (freezing & glicthing) making the viewing unwatchable and not to mention limited number of sats as well on that probs. Oh yeah and also who knows how long the so called ''gift'' will be valid for. usually for that price I would say that gift is valid for maybe 3 - 6 months tops

Anyway choice is yours dude.

DON'T BUY IT, trust me I know that this type of thing will soon be stamped out and anyone who does buy it exposes themselves via the IP address and open themselves to a knock at the door. The idiot who is offering this has opened himself up for investigation with a key to his house because he has registered his domain at his address!
