Kodi Android TV Streaming Box [Livingsocial + wetek group]

Clogging the thread up with crap is what the problem is.

This isn't plug and play out of the box, it requires knowing what to do with it. That's why it's not for everyone.

If it suits you, pop your name onto the list.

No need to get offensive, trying to be informative.

Alright.





Cut off time for ordering is going to be 1pm. Anyone not on the list by then, too bad.

Demand has been a bit higher than we had anticipated I'd imagine. Could be a fun order to sort out.

Actually, i wont be buying this now so i can be removed from the list

I was lucky enough to snag the shield tv 500gb misprice from Amazon during the night which now seems will be honoured. Its a much better device so no need for the wetek. The spec for the wetek is quite low so i expect a level of sluggishness when using the device but no such issues with the shield.

Also have to agree with some of the posts above. These things are going to be very complicated to use especially when loading inages and utilising dvb functions. If you don't know how to do these things or do not have experience with kodi then you probably shouldn't be buying one. These are not magical working out of the box systems, they require advanced user configuration.

This thread is going to get awful messy if people are buying the box and have no idea how to use it. Caveat Emptor! It will not be the responsibility of others managing orders to handhold inexperienced users through the setup.

I think zarqoun has said what I was trying to say much better.

If you need it explained to you what this box is for, please, don't put your name down.

No one is responsible for it, no matter which one of us puts the order in.

How much did you get shield tv for? Looks like a nice device.

€167 including shipping. Thats for the 500gb model including remote and controller. Amazon de accidently priced the 500gb model with 16gb price but tge 16gb is still available at this price. Spec is miles better than the underpowered wetek. Tbh €54 is about the right price for the wetek anyway ignoring sales as the spec is rubbish. For anyone that does not want a dvb tuner then there are better spec boxes than the wetek available for cheaper.

People get caught up in a supposed bargain frenzy even if the deal really isn't a bargain. Reminds me of the post i read declaring what a great bargain the pebble was followed by a question by the same poster asking what exactly the pebble was!!!

Another for DVB-S2 and pay with PayPal
cheers

OK, we get it. You think the wetek is rubbish. You've said it enough.

In contrast, for 53€, I know this is a bargain. It'll have plenty of ongoing support, you can add a sat/terr tuner which is a huge plus IMO, and despite you're scare-mongering, you do not need a degree in engineering to operate these; there is plethora of youtube tutorials for any concerned folks plus for those of us who like tinkering, there will be plenty of ROMs available, allowing you to personalize it.

And you're comparing it to something that costs over 300% more is pretty ridiculous.

In addition, i'd be very keen for your recommendations on the 'better spec'd boxes for less money' ????

I'll have a look at the list when I get a chance and see who's in and out, this is why I hate this sort of thing, very hard to keep track.

Rossie, i know i'm late to the party but whats the cost for box plus sat tuner as part of the group buy ??

53.99 plus delivery
whichever delivery we decide on

Cheers GY A1, can you put us down for 2 please (with DVB S2 please ) pretty please ?

I've not looked at the sat tuners, I want one for sure, but think it might be too messy to add them in to this order.

How the hell are we going to work this? Send Paypal all to one person? They pay it on? I wonder would wetek allow us to each send to them, put boards or something in the title? That way it'd be much easier.

I'll look at the Google doc now.

That would be handy for us, if they're willing to do it.
We still have delivery to sort after, looked at courier option earlier but too expensive, so as you said, I think, Parcel Motel @ €4.50 could be best?

Techrader say the shield is only a mediocre android box and an excellent gaming system.

yes rather than 1 person having to send them all out for delivery,
would be better to split the order
might hit 36, 3 orders lol

27 with Satelite Tuners - €1457.73

2 with DVB-T\C - €107.98

3 Blank - €161.97


Split the orders up into 2 x 16?

If there are a large group from Dublin/Cork/Galway etc.?

Probably a good idea to put the location of the buyers on the shared sheet, just to see the logistic spread ?

Who's controlling the sheet at the moment, is it you Ally?

I will ring paypal after lunch (15 minutes) and ask them if it's possible to set up a temporary account for this thread.

Everyone that pays address will be in their paypal or paypal payment.

If possible forward that to DPD Parcel Wizard, or if anyone has a better idea?

have a wetek box packaging
and the package size is 210mmx160mm x 90mm deep
