cheap saorview equipment!?

Johnsat

Hi Guys i dont use the forums much but just a quick question. I mostly instal sky but im doing a fair bit of saorview now and i was using the triax TR112 receiver i know there are cheaper ones but im relly impressed with this particular one! I was paying 62 plus the vat and i just wanted to know could i get them anywhere else cheaper?? The cheapest i can get them for is 56 euro from TvSatStore.com but i have to take 24 for that price! Any idea where i might get them cheaper or is that the cheapest? thanks:D

The triax boxes aren't really cheap anywhere! try tvtrade

watty

Triax make Dishes and Aerials OK.
Their expertise is NOT in setboxes, nor are they cheap anywhere. Look at other set-boxes.

Tvtrade are no where near 56! I think I'll stick with tvsatstore they seem to be the cheapest and they have next day delivery!

Yes triax have made a few poor receivers but the Tr112 is by far the best saorview approved receiver!

watty

You have a Lab or Lab test results to prove this?

I'm not saying you are wrong, just curious.
In what features, audio, video and construction etc is it "better"?

Johnsat

First of all look at the other recievers on the market that are saorview approved! they look like they all come from the same factory with different names stuck on the front of them, im after putting in nearly 50 of the TR112 not one faulty so far! the media player is excellent it allows you to play movies, music and photos through a hard-drive!

t c

Wow......€56 is a great price especially as their on-line price is €69.95.

Most are Vestel (made in Turkey). That doesn't make the TR112 better or worse.

Able to play disc media is common and not on my list of priorities. Many do that. That doesn't make the TR112 a better box for most users simply wanting "converted".

50 isn't very many. When you have installed 500 to 1000 tell me how many fail.

So you basically like the look of the TR112 better.

Johnsat

It's 56 when you get 24 have a look when you select the product it then gives quantity prices!

Johnsat

I could write a long list of how I think the tr112 is the best but it's just my opinion! The overall function and menu navigation is better also the picture compared to the walker receivers! In fact I started with the walker and I had several tuner issues with them!

Compton

The ferguson ariva is a better solution in my opinion, I can't understand why people would buy a box to watch 8 channels or so..

Johnsat

Ya i agree the combi receiver is the way forward there!Ferguson were terrible at the start but 30 software updates later lets hope they have there problems solved!:D

http://tvsatstore.com/index.php/contact To be honest this on-line supplier don't supply a contact number or tell us where he is based which would make me suspicious. Even his prices are expensive compared to other online and public retail suppliers. As far as i know there is only two on-line suppliers on this island that sell only to the TRADE. That's Vanjak and ATC.

I saw that. But its his website that needs his Name, contact number and address. The OP is from Cork.

Compton

Bit dodgy alright, can't see why he wouldn't put any contact details up.. ummmmmmmm

STB

Maybe the OP can tell us more

I spotted it after the first post......

Johnsat

Ya i thought the same without a contact number they do everything by email, im after getting a few orders off them now and to be honest im very happy with them, i asked them why is there such a price difference from a quatity of 1 to say a quantity of 12 and he said he didnt want to be cutting out the installer from making money off the sale of a receiver, which you have to admit the likes of tvtrade they say on there homepage that you can do everything your self which is bad for the trade!

Johnsat why dont you contact ATC supplies or Vanjak rigging and set up a trade account.

Johnsat

Who are ATC? Vanjak are up in the north and if you have a technical question your wasting your time asking them! Im happy with tvsatstore for the moment you can ask them anything and he will reply within the same day sometimes with in the same hour, when channel 4 hd changed and without me asking he sent an email with an updated channel list for the triax combi which i loaded onto a usb! if i wasnt buying off them it would be kd electronics cork who also give a good service!

http://www.atcsupplies.com/ContactUs.aspx Trade only

Johnsat

There not very cheap to be honest! i should be ok for awhile now ordered a good bit of stuff monday morning from kenny at tvsatstore.com and it arrived this morning he actually had the triax combi and triax sr110 pre tuned which was handy at no extra cost!

St Senan

Compare prices between tvsatstore.com and TVtrade or ATC for a Saorview approved receiver and a Aerial.

tvsatstore.com = €95.71 delivered
ATC = €91.90 delivered
Tvtrade = €83.13 delivered

Johnsat

Have you seen the quantity prices? i buy in quantity as i said before TvSatStore discourage diy sales so his pricing is the best in quantity! check it out bud!:D

Compton

obviously the more you buy the cheaper it is. Its the same everywhere

Johnsat

yes obviouisly but there the cheapest when buying in quantity of even 12 thats the point i was making!

No they are not. they are €121.20 dearer

12 saorview boxes and 12 Aerials Incl Vat+Delivery = €993.41 from tvsatstore

12 saorview boxes and 12 Aerials Incl Vat+Delivery = €872.21 from tvtrade

Johnsat

Hi Johnsat the only way a on-line supplier can discourage DIY sales is for that supplier to be a Trade only supplier who wont sell to the public. He also has reasonable prices on a small quantity instead of trying to sell a bulk load, And has variety of different items to sell. I do know that some suppliers sell both to the public and Trade. I like most installers deal in Trade only.

Johnsat

TvTrade is far from trade only!!:D

Hi Johnsat. Yes tvtrade sell to both the public and installers. {I have no connection with tvtrade} Some guys would say the Name [tvtrade] should not mention trade but that's their business. As I said I only deal with trade suppliers. The website that you are promoting is not cheap for an installer to buy from. I have compared prices on stock and tvsatstore prices are expensive compared to Tvtrade, Vanjak, and ATC.

Johnsat

I guess well just have to dissagree! vanjak ot tvtrade cant beat the trade prices i can get off tvsatstore, maybe because its mainly Triax equipment, its also quantity i buy in maybe thats it! Vanjak have good prices but ever get a pallet off them?? talk about a mess!!

Hi Johnsat. If you want to Disagree then fair enough. But you came here started the thread looking for cheap Saorview equipment.You mention a on-line supplier called tvsatstore.com (based in Cork where your from) that no body ever heard of until you mentioned it. I have suggested 3 on-line suppliers to you that work out cheaper. Johnsat if tvsatstore gave a Contact phone number {land-line} a Name and Address plus show that they are Vat Reg on that site. Then people would not be suspicious. Your a customer of theirs why don't you mention that to Him/Them. You never know they might get more installers buying from them. Anyhow with all the bulk load of Saorview Equipment that you are buying from tvsatstore you must be flat out installing in cork is there any Jobs going down that way because every where else the work is just ticking over.

Johnsat

Na not really just have enough work till maybe first week of jan i have another lad with me too! cork is terrible for work really because there is so many installers! ill say it to kenny about those details i think i said it to him about the addresse for returning goods he gave it to me but i dont think i told him that its not on his site! he is only after starting online im sure he will make many improvements to his site, keep an eye on it!!

Contact Number is: (555)555-0123 :eek:
Anybody tried that number?

STB

You might be better off contacting Damien O Halloran @ http://spectrumav.ie who also operate out of 7 Metro Business Park Ballycurreen Co. Cork and ask them do they know tvastore.com.

St Senan

STB are you sure you didnt mean Mr Damien O Halloran, http://spectrumav.ie

Compton

That site looks a lot like the official saorview site!
