My mate who has a computer shop bought 8 from china, he paid $42.50 per unit and $157 freight and then had to pay import tax of around ?35.00, but this is something you need to talk to your buyer about! Also trying to find a supplier who will give you some sort of after sales support is very very hard and took him over 2 years to find a supplier who is helpful when problems occur, but even then he said they will still mess you around.
He said he wished he had stuck with s10 for a few more months until further firmware updates have sorted out teething problems, like renaming of all favs after firmware updates,hope this helps.

i dont mind remaining favourite groups, only takes maximum 10 mins.

as long as its doing the job it fine with me, the only problem i dont like even more than epg is not all the channel name is visible

i get them cheaper than that, although i did buy 10 before. Who did you buy them of?

I will ask him, epg channels will appear it all depends on which firmware you use and which channel list you also use. He can get them cheaper than $42.50 but like he said cheaper is not better when you have problems!
