Just wondering does anybody know where the cheapest place is to buy cable receivers? My current suppliers boxesdirect, eBay and carboots

I wouldnt mind rummaging through a skip however it would look pretty weird if I randomly went to a skip and started rummaging without having a lot of stuff to throw out

I'd have to say eBay or car boot sales as you say because you can barter the price lol or you could find some junk to get rid of and use it as an excuse to rummage around at the tip haha. Those sly f*****s put stuff they want to one side anyway and i've seen them do it

The trouble is where on earth is the Leeds carboot ? !!! I know where bingley carboot is(nothing good there) but not the leeds carboot. Bear in mind, I need to get a train and bus to everywhere not local as I dont own a car and no one will drop me off

Are there no online sellers cheaper than my current supplier?

Sorry to Hi-jack the thread and what not, but I just headed over to BoxesDirect, are they indeed genuine?

Seems a bit iffy to me, can anyone confirm a satisfactory transaction?
