Sprechen Sie Deutsch STB? Ich habe keine Idee how much shipping costs...

Well, the ebay guy says it costs the standard DHL price to Ireland. No idea if the shop will send here.

Nein....

There is an email addy on the ebay site..... Imagine €15-20 max

Interesting find, does it definately do DVB-S2 though? It's not mentioned anywhere only in the PDF which is for the Handan.

Ideal cheapo box for a second room though.

Yes.

DVB-S, DVB-S2. Full spec Below. Band II, IV and V on the DVB-T end. So UHF.

That is truly excellent then, is anybody buying one?

I would like to know how much the shipping actually works out at and a quick review/ confirmation of channels received would be great.

The e-bay seller selling this item does not ship abroad.

Send him a PM. Don't discuss it here.

KeRbDoG · 06-04-2009 5:52pm

Anyone have a linky where one might get one of these since someone mentioned that powershop aint selling outside of Germany?

Try saor tv - http://www.saortv.com/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=2

I don't think the Globalteqs are available much since wizard satellite stopped selling them, but the Mvision is pretty good for sat and terrestrial and supports PVR functions to external USB disk drive.

Would it work with Irish DTT?

Sorry, if I missed it.

barnicles · 26-06-2009 1:16pm

I'm looking to buy this for both FTA & Irish DTT.

Would it work with them?

If you're asking about the Mvision Combo box, then yes - It works for satellite FTA (and with the last version of firmware it also works with current SKY cards to decode your subscribed programmes - don't know what the situation is with the new SKY cards being released, though) and it works for the Irish DTT with its current settings, though be aware that power is way down on the transmitters testing at present so you will need a good aerial - no bits of wet string!
