    Ah 10% is an awful black Friday sale.
    They had it set up so it looked like it was 53.99 per device earlier in the week.

    I had spotted that it needed to be 12 earlier. Was not impressed.

    Ah it was a bit of a screw job alright, too good to be through, as they say :mad:

    Yeah, somebody pointed it out in the other thread. That is terrible :(.
    The support on the box is good in the forums, and you can run Enigma/OpenELEC as well as Android. But they're still not worth more than €80.
    €53 + delivery would be okay for one (if delivery was less than €10).
    But that price is presumably only to resellers.
    Anyone that resells them needs their head checked tbh, as any buyer will skip the middle man for any friends/family.

    We could do a group order, but I really don't know would it be worth it?

    It might. €53 each.
    How much is shipping?

    The community is good.

    I just checked, shipping is free?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,766 ✭✭✭RossieMan


    Shipping free makes it interesting. If be up for it. Now only to find 10 more souls who'd order.

    Any review of them as I don't see much spec on the site where they're for sale?
    So we're talking €53.99*10 + delivery to individuals. Wonder would Fastway do it at €5 per delivery?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,255 ✭✭✭GY A1


    ya think delivery is free.
    Great bargain at €53 each.
    I'd be interested in 3 or 4
    Can run enigma 2 image solid now and can have kodi alongside enigma 2 also


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 313 ✭✭cizolin


    I'd be interested in buying a couple or so to make up the numbers. Have different one ordered but I know the family will want one once they see my one up and running.

    Is it free delivery in just the uk though?

    Well worth watching this - http://openelec.tv/ for €53.99

    If not least, for their forums and improvements.
    They were slow to start, but prove how important/valuable support is.

    To previous poster, it states free worldwide delivery on the site.

    I'd take 2.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,255 ✭✭✭GY A1


    that must be 12 already lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 50 ✭✭Sicky


    I'll take one too - if someone can hold my hand/ point me where to go to set it up.... ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,255 ✭✭✭GY A1


    i wonder if we bought 12, would wetek ship them to the 7 or 8 different people

    I doubt it, say we could organise a courier, heard Fastway deliver parcels from €5 each, haven't checked it out though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,766 ✭✭✭RossieMan


    Parcel motel is 4.50 per stay, could be the easiest and cheapest option.

    Thought it was €3.95, or was that just for receiving?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,766 ✭✭✭RossieMan


    Just receiving. If you send it to another member the smallest package size is 4.50.

    No connection, but I'll ring Fastway tomorrow, see what they could do price wise.

    I take it these work through Wi-Fi ??
    Not much details on site.

    I'm on a tablet so not the most user friendly way, but perhaps someone with a laptop could quickly create a Google doc that people could edit their username and amount they want? Would make it a lot easier to keep track of numbers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,255 ✭✭✭GY A1


    yup can connect thru etherner
    or has its own built in wifi,
    using one here and wifi works perfect for enigma2 and kodi , no bother

    bought mine off wetek web for 100 odd euro,
    got a discount at the time of launch

    Yeah, they work on wifi and ethernet.
    A few videos here, and a load more useful ones once you start browsing.
    https://www.youtube.com/user/WeTekElectronics

    What about two or three collection points? post offices?

    I'm easy any way that's decided, I was just throwing something out there.

    I've posted in the other thread in case anybody else is interested before the order goes in.
    It's a minimum of 12, right? So it could be 933, it wouldn't make a difference.
    Who can make the order? Any idea how? Paypal/Skrill - Boards/Adverts?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 313 ✭✭cizolin


    On an iPad myself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 536 ✭✭✭brainiac


    I might get in on this with you guys tomorrow and buy 1 or 2 of them.

    Is there any particular advantage to getting this one over something like this if you aren't going to be hooking it up to an aerial / satellite?:

    Don't know how the collection points would work, with us all spread throughout the country?

    So we have a choice of 3 tuner options, terrestrial, satellite or cable, is that it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,255 ✭✭✭GY A1


    how 933

    is it not 12x53.99

    The MXq you linked to can dual boot OpenELEC too, but for €5 cheaper and large community and constant updates, the Wetek would definitely be more bang for rbuck.

    Yeah, I wasn't thinking straight.. :o
    I'm out of ideas. Santa? ;)

    Yep, 3 options.
    I don't know what tuner I'd get for the 2nd one.
