    Picked up mine this morning, cant get power to the device unless i put pressure on the adapter, managed to do so long enough to see the device up and running but once i took weight off the plug and adapter it shut down, pain in the arse,its unusable at the moment.

    Any tips on where to go from here in terms of content, the device is working although i need a new plug setup but its a blank canvas.

    Huge thanks to Aquos76 once again, fair play man.

    .

    There's a thread in the android forum on it, YouTube(some vids in this thread) Wetek forums & linuxsat-support.

    Was thinking on a Facebook group for the stuff you can't post here, if there's interest

    & keep trying that adapter, I've an android box that's very hard to get working, needs to be perfect in the adapter to get power. That's takes a few goes. Just in case it's the same

    Check the TNT bag guys, first thing I did was open the box and discover I needed an adaptor. I was only a few hours later I discovered there was an adaptor in the bag, so there might be one in yours.

    Quite a good few of these have been collect already, still a lot in the lockers waiting to be picked up also, there are still some "in transit" alright, that must be down to shortage of locker spaces in certain locations, hopefully anyone who was waiting on these as presents have had them delivered by now, PM did tell me that they will be delivering right up till this evening so fingers crossed all will get there today.

    Thanks to anyone who have PM'ed me to say thank you, just incase you think I'm been ignorant by not replying, ye are more than welcome. I was happy to do this. Regarding the power supply issue that some are having, if it turns out that it's affecting a good few people, then I'll will get on to wetek in the new year about it. Just so as people are aware, I didn't open any of these at all, I just took them from boxes of 10 and put them in to the PM bags along with the 3pin plug that they included, so I had no idea if they had an issues or not.

    I've not even ordered one of these. Just been watching the story unfolding. What a decent, genuine, unselfish individual to undertake such a commitment. Plugs are cheap and no hassle to resolve. I'm sure individuals if anymore affected can resolve this themselves. I'm sure they'll agree.

    Sat splitters? You can't split a satellite signal - at least not if you intend to use both devices at the same time.

    Your not trying to split a satellite cable from the dish going to another box.
    Cause that won't work.
