Tiny PCs goes into administration

About 1,500 jobs will go after the UK's largest computer maker, which produces Tiny and Time PCs, went into administration and closed its 80 shops.
Lancashire-based Granville Technology Group has been making monthly losses of up to £2m since the start of the year.

My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 6 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/10E/13E/16E/ 19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S


The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue

From what Ive seen of the build quality of their machines, good riddance. We have some old Tiny's on our network. They are the most shoddy built troublesome machines on our network....

My System: IDD CI24 ECONO MM Penta 1.20 Galaxy II 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 21 years and is still driven by a modified wiper motor from a Ford Anglia. It's like me sometimes groans but always performs

Yep

I couldn't agree more AS. Based just down the road from me, people are contacting me all the time re their crap. Barge pole and all that , their after sales sevice was non existent when at it's best. Shame about the jobs but that's life.
