You'll be hard pressed to get one from anywhere other than from a dealer. They are selling out all over Europe at the minute. You have to pre-order with most dealers as they are sold out before they even arrive in stock.

 

[chavo]

Yep i see that, really depressing isnt it!! i spoke to someone at a website that sounds like a card (cant say name as i thik it is against rules) he said it is due to a lack of the Broadcom Chip.

Very annoying. question is do i pre order one and wait say a month or do i just check all the sites on a daily basis?!?! who is going to get it in stock first?

 

[compufunk]

As far as I know, one of the forum sponsors is going to stock the VU+ Duo. It might be worth contacting them.

I used a German dealer to order mine. The service was good, they got the receiver in stock two days after I ordered and I took delivery two days later. But they are all out at the minute too, and the next delivery date is unknown. If I hear of anyone with stock, I'll post back.

Just ordered mine from skysat-europe

Confirmed that they have a few in stock now.

Little tip, If you pay in Euros it works out around a tenner cheaper than sterling even after your credit/debit card company charge you 2.5% for conversion.

My total in Sterling worked out at £393.38 including delivery to Northern Ireland

Has it arrived yet? if so let me know mate, thanks for the tip, if it has come i will be ordering one!

 

[tomthebomb1968]

Not yet mate. When I spoke o the phone on Friday they could only do the transaction in sterling, I had to buy via the net to get it in Euros. They emailed to say they were getting more this week and I would have it within 1 or 2 days of them receving their stock from Belgium. Although they do cover themselves by saying it can take upto 14 days in the small print.

 

[chavo]

I dropped them an email, they said if i was to order today then it would be 12 days, they are out of stock till friday. Does anyone know if these boxes do the 442 feeds? How much did you get it for when you did it over the phone in sterling?

 

[tomthebomb1968]

think it was £405 all in

 

[Telia]

Does anyone know if these boxes do the 442 feeds?

No........

 

[Lazarus]

"No, no-one knows"

or

"No, they don't do 4:2:2 feeds" ?

 

[Analoguesat]

No they dont do 4:2:2 although from what I gather this may be implemented in the future.

 

[chavo]

HAs your box turned up yet?

 

[tomthebomb1968]

Not yet mate lol. To be fair to them they have kept me informed about due dates. Below is the last I received

Dear Mr. Tully,



Thank you for your email. Do please accept our most sincere apologies for the delay of your order.



As you are no doubt aware, the Vu+ duo are in very high demand, and short supply from the manufacturer.



We have been advised directly from the manufacturer that the next consignment has been flagged for urgent delivery to our offices. The shipment is due for arrival at Schipol airport in the Netherlands, on Friday 26th March. We anticipate the arrival of your box plus many others to our office on or around 27th or 29th March, which will mean we ship out to you same day if possible if not too late in the day, or next day at very latest via UPS, if they arrive at the end of the day.

Trusting that this is acceptable to you, thank you once again for your patience and understanding.



Sincerely,

SKYSAT-EUROPE SALES TEAM.

Thanks for posting the mail.
I had ordered almost one month ago, and have so far not received the box. On the other hand, lot of others who ordered from elsewhere already have received it. I am bordering on being suspicious now. When had you ordered?
