I'm sure your competitors are thrilled that you take such an active interest in their affairs.

The above URL now has the reduced price of €105.

[Now it says 169.00EUR -- Watty]

The brand appears to be Dutch:

I think this kind of offer is good for everybody, makes me want to find out how Corksat can offer such a low price and investigate if I can do better.

Oh yes and you're pointing this out with absolutely no vested interests whatsoever. Much like when you rushed to inform us that Maplin had no FTA kits in stock.

Could it be that you're Eddie Hobbs incognito and the welfare of the Irish consumer is forever weighing heavily on your mind?

have to agree, I see little point in one retailer voicing an opinion on anothers offers/practices, this is the role of consumers in my view as we as retailers have vested interests so consequently we are not objective in this regard.

The SAB is an excellent receiver, I have installed many and use one myself.
I contacted SAB in Holland about buying them in directly and was refered to Corksat. Seems he has distribution rights in Ireland.

Thats correct, what I was thinking was trying to offer a similar deal with another receiver. Slightly OT I've changed over to fastway couriers, much simpler to use and cheaper than An post especially on larger items like dishes and much better attitude re customer service. Worth checking out for any retailers here

I think I broke my Palcom DSL4 testing a Motor for someone. It is very erratic now repositioning the motor, otherwise fine. But my choice would be either for a Strong with an RF modulator, or for a Dreambox or similar receiver with hard disk and ethernet built in.

Not the "3 Sab".

My diseqc on the PC is acting erratic too. I think I have a touch of the gremlins at the moment.

I think sockpuppetry is a banning offence.

banned??? if your'e banned you can't make a new account!!!!

Well if you do you get banned again.

BTW, For Corksat the price is €169 + €30 postage. You can't see shipping costs till you checkout
199 Euro is not so cheap
