    Are we 100% certain that these will qualify for the €4.50 option with parcel motel, their criteria for that is 8cm x 38cm x 64cm but I've no idea what size these are.

    Yeah, as long as they're not separated I think. I sent two wrapped up with PM before, and I've received much bigger than that.

    The largest Parcel Motel locker size is 41 × 38 × 64 cm. The maximum weight is 10 kgs.

    http://www.parcelmotel.com/prices/#prices-send
    Small 8 × 38 × 64 cm
    Medium 19 × 38 × 64 cm
    Large 41 × 38 × 64 cm

    Width & length are no problem. Looking at the height though, its a lot of packaging - looks more than 8cms, so could be a €5.50 medium locker required. You'll know soon enough.

    Parcel motel is definitely the cheapest around anyway, for those that have PM that will be the way to go, otherwise it will have to be registered post.

    It's just a case of it fitting. For sure they won't give a toss; if it fits, then aquos76 is sorted.

    think you will have problems with those speeds but id recommend loading kodi onto whatever device(s) you currently have to see how it goes before buying

    Hi Folks,

    WeTec got back to me and the the blackfriday discount has indeed been finished. That did say that if we were buying 12 of these they would sell them for €60 a pop which is more than 50% discount. This is €6 more than the blackfriday deal.

    €60 - box - Going to just take 60 per box to start.

    If interested pm me the following

    Each pm should contain:

    Your name & address
    paypay name.
    Qty ordered
    Tuner type

    When we get 12 I will send out a message to each to collect money and to order. Once I have the number I will message back WeTec to create the invoice so I can pay.

    I think the prefared payment option would be paypal.

    Peter.

    Nice one Padair, that's good to hear the door is still open. Just as a tip, might I suggest that along with the details you requested, get people to also include the paypal name in the PM as I had to go cross checking once the payments start coming in with them being different from Boards usernames.

    I've been in contact with PM this morning, I have managed to get them to give me a special one off rate for each delivery, we are still sorting the logistics of it of it at the minute, it's looking like €3.95 delivered to a Parcel Motel locker of your choice. They have also informed me that we all don't need to be registered with PM to avail of this service either. We just need to supply them with a name, email address, phone number and a location of the chosen locker you want to avail of for each packages. It's my understanding also, that those who have ordered 2 will be considered as 1 delivery too. The person who ordered 3, I'll have to wait to see will all three fit into the sealed bags they supply to me to see if yours will be one or two deliveries.

    Regarding packaging, they are sending me down 20 bags tonight to my locker and when the weteks come to me, I'll bag them all, label them up and PM will come and collect them from me. Obviously if people are PM customers already, they'll just need to supply me with their full names and their PM number..

    Parcel motel really are top notch. It's service like that that'll keep me using them, that and no one has anything like their locker system in place. I've used DPD parcel wizard and delivery is grand but it just doesn't suit.

    That's s great offer you've negotiated!
    It'll be good to know for the next group buy that takes place.

    Are you going off the list last night Padair ? I'd my name down on that so not sure if you've me included.

    When you planning on putting in the order ?

    Now one more question in general. I had sky multi room in the kitchen at home and all the wiring is in place still. If I hook up the Wetek satalite tuner to the sky cabling will that give me the non subscription channels ? Can't seem to find an answer anywhere.

    Once you connect your Wetek box to the sat cable, you will just have to scan Astra 28.2 and then you'll have all the FTA channels. You'll then need to tidy up the list (delete all the duplicates) and you'll be good to go.

    Spot on Dodzy. Think I'll go with the Sat Tuner one so rather than either of the others.

    Edit: Would this be a correct list of channels available ? I was mainly looking for RTE and UTV and it seems there both available along with Setanta Ireland.

    You will not get Irish channels via a sky dish. Firstly it's too small and secondly, its pointing the wrong way. If irish channels are a must, then you need an antenna and a saorview compatible TV at the very minimum. This would be your easiest solution when you are going the WETEK Sat route.

    Setanta Ireland is not available FTA. You need a minimum sub to UPC or the like. That said, The Kodi side of the WETEK can do many things that cannot be discussed here. Google is your friend.

    No not a must just a bonus. The box will be mainly used by myself for Kodi as I have it running on my MacBook and would be much better on a bigger screen.

    Yes ,you can .
    Autobouquetsmanager works too ,as does Crossepg ,Rats Picon plugin ,Rats Channel plugin,Rte player,Autotimer and many more plugins.
    Basically any plugin I use on my other Linux receivers works on the Wetek !
