12 month Arabesque (ART) card? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

I've been toying with the idea of buying one of these doofers.

Been watching them on Ebay and the cheapest one I've found to date is £72 with free p&p.

How come the same card advertised in 'What Satellite.....' from various outlets (I won't mention their names coz one or two of you might work there...lol) ranges from £149 to £189 ????
What's the catch with this £72 card (if any)?
Would I be getting a full 12 months from the time of buying? Or buying an old card with only a few months left on it?

Does anyone have any experience of these Ebay sold cards?

Cheers!

I assume you are refering to the card being sold by MarconiDigital.

You won't have any problems with this guy. I have had loads of cards off him in the past with no problems at all

He also give excellent backup after you have purchased the card

The reason you see them for different prices is basically due to sellers greed. There no catch with the £72 card.

Its only the same as the one i purchased a few years back
