Having had problems logging onto their sites, does anyone know if the above no longer operate? Even their ebay shop has no items listed. I wonder if the clampdown by the cable provider has had a part to play in their disappearance.

This does not surprise me! Maybe they have had a knock at the door! but this does not explain why their site is not working?

I dont know if they have shut down or not,but i was thinking of buying a Technomate 5400CI+ motorised system from them as they seemed to be the cheapest around.Now i'm not sure if i will even if they do come back

Cheapest is not always the best mate!

wizard satellite stay away as i bought a twin lnb from them and got sent a monoblock lnb instead and never got the twin lnb from them so i avoid

moto, use southernsatellite instead as you will get support from them and be able to speak to them on the phone unlike wizard never get through

Thanks for the info, I have been let down a number of times in the past by wizard, missing items etc. I think I will look at other suppliers like you have mentioned in future. Thanks.

Cheers for the headsup guys

I have heard a few horror stories about Wizard tho,so i think i will stay away from them.
I have checked out Southernsatellites webpage and it looks as tho they could be the way to go for me when i get the money together for my new system(Technomate 5400 CI+ 1MTR dish motorised system).
Thanks again for the info

I would say that they are still going and are having server problems. This has been comming for ages. I'll say they will are back up and running shortly.

I was on sat downloads every day seems to have gone any other good sites for protek 9600 or innovative or are they gone forever gvndf

there are no problems at wizard, the site is being moved to a more reliable host this also means that any emails sent from last saturday are not being recieved at the moment. Reading other comments, people have there own opinions about any business and there is no business which is perfect. But i can assure that anyone with problems with there orders are always sorted out, lets face it 98% of customers have a trouble free experience at the cheapest price and also get there order within 24hrs, so we are never that bad......
