has anyone had any experience buying a duo of brandasat? i cannot find any reviews anywhere, i was put onto them by a member from the Ferrari forum, but a google search just returns the same user promoting them across the web!?

[potrobber]

why not play it safe and buy from nextbay surely there is no big difference in price

i will give them a look!

brandasat are quoting $202 for the duo and shipping of $103 but i was asking for 2 boxes at the time.

[mdt]

brandasat is the direct ferrari supplier used by @toysoft ect on the ferrari forum so id say it will be fine but the choice is yours, id personally use nextbay. regards mdt

[nullvoiid]

which one biz or cn? i read a few bad reviews for nextbay but cannot find anything for or against with brandsat..

[nullvoiid]

just figured it's the same site

[gsmtech]

I've had price quotes from branda before which seemed ok. But she only accepts bank transfer or western union. Both of which are expensive and also offer no buyer protection, western union is open to fraud. So I never purchased from branda if she accepted pay pal it would be ok.

they seem genuine but it worries me that there is no protection they could just run off with my money!! still confused what to do, its looking like im going to take the risk with branda because from what im reading thenextbay even with paypal are not the best when it comes to refunds..

if you pay with Paypal your 100% protected and even better still pay with a CC through Paypal and you double your protection, i would never send money via a bank transfer or any type of transaction that has no cover.

[nullvoiid]

your right on both counts been loosing confidence in brandasat, they offered me a good price thats not too cheap. but my bank wants ?80 for the pleasure and wu just seems to risky!! saying that, even using paypal has its risks, sending back faulty items to get your refund costs you half your refund!!

[RuberDuck]

if you read the ferrari forums you will see a customer there of brandasat who got a nice dead receiver out of the box. sometimes i really wonder why people continue to buy this rubbish.

just bobbed back to post the same, its the price that keeps people buying plus theres plenty of people that have good quality duo clones so they cannot be all bad(i hope).

[zakdk]

Only one person can make that decision and thats youself

[IAmATeaf]

A guy on the Ferrari forums has received a box from branda and guess what, it doesn't boot. So even approved suppliers cant be a sure thing.

Do Nextbay have good customer service?

[gsmtech]

My duo v2 clone was from nextbay via aliexpress it's the first time I'd used nextbay. But all is well shipping was fast box was well packaged. Can't fault them on my experience.

Can't comment on after sales service as I've never had to contact them the box has been trouble free apart from the known Ferrari design issues. I swapped the fan for a more silent one and I have occasional tune failed message when changing channels due to Ferrari team under specced security chip not being able to respond to queries fast enough..

i ended up ordering from brandasat and everything went smoothly, it all arrived well packaged and working, and im now loving my v3 box!! i also ordered a spare psu for a faulty box supplied by aspleysat and thats up and working as well :) the other guy with the faulty psu is reporting excellent after sales from branda and his duo is now up and running..

A friend of mine bought with Paypal a box, and he received instead a USB Memory Stick on a big box... that was his highly expensive paid clone DM8000.

I was never able to get Paypal refunding him, as the seller provided proof of sending the item and that it was received.

Paypal is as risky as paying with bank transfore or Western Union... if your seller is a thief.

Personally I buy from Branda since 2007 (search for brandasat on google) and I am very happy about the boxes. Naturally there is some "poor quality" clones beeing produced as for every production, also originals, the 5% defective are there... as well as buyers who play with the box without the knowledge needed and "f*c*" their box flashing not properly the Security chip, or removing some parts or inserting some parts with PSU connected etc... I seen many many things such as this.

The decision of buying is personal, personally I always bought from Branda and was very happy. Remember also that cheaper you want to pay, cheaper hardware you get !

One more funny thing, now even the DM Original boxes are produced by a Sim2/EStar clone manufacturer, I just seen... from China/Schenzen.

[benny/9]

i think the moral is dont buy clones
after all the posts about vu clone psu
boards that have needed replacing,
i have never had a genuine vu or dreambox
model that has ever given a problem, and i
think this says a lot for buying genuine models
from reputable dealers

[cactikid]

let them buy clones as the old saying buy cheap pay thrice will most likely happen sometime and the penny/pound will surely drop lol

The Problem is with the release of Receivers in the E2 range now such as the TM-Nano, Gigablue 800, Maxdigital XP1000 the need for clones is falling as thses receivers are either priced the same as Clones or slightly cheaper which results in the now declining Clone sales, with original you have 12 months piece of mind form a local retailer and not someone form X000's of miles away.

Dont get me wrong i have nothing against clones but with the Economy and falling prices of Tech from all over the world we are seeing original receivers that are better specified and cheaper as i say than the clones.

IMHO they are just not worth buying anymore unless you really want one

[kadnor]

HI DIAICON- Thanks for the recommendation. HOW can I verify that TM NANO, GIGABLUE & MAXDIGITAL are 100% produced one the EUROPEAN soil. Upon receipt of your reply- I will purchase one of the 3 brands you mentioned. Thanks for your experience and guidance. RGDS

[digicon]

All the above 3 as far as i am aware have not been cloned so you should be safe in the knowledge that you will receive a genuine product, Current prices are as follows

TM-Nano ?129, Gigablue 800 ?150, XP1000 ?140 also consider the Xtrend ET4000 for approx ?120

[RuberDuck]

There is also the new Octagon SF8 HD ( basically the new model xp1000 with a added display on the front of the receiver ) selling for ?129 via WoS and ?140 every where else.

Hello

I got my vu duo for a good price and can give you the guys details who sells them, he also install a 500gb and sets the box up for you for an additional cost

DO NOT BY ANYTHING FROM YOUR CLONE BACKSTREET FACTORIES IN CHINA !

I have just been ripped off for ?200 for a gadget from one of the big well know clone sellers "that are suppose to be recommended", I payed by paypal and also using a credit card through my paypal account and paypal couldnt get my money back at the end of the day and neither could my credit card company or mastercard, BE VERY AWARE !

If you insist on buying a clone item (which are generally garbage) then at least pay the extra few $$'s and buy from your own country, that way you will definitely be able to get your money back by the trading standards dept of your country etc, but if its international I.E - china, then your own country (unless you live in china, lol) will not be able to pursue the case, trust me !

I certainly will not fall into that trap again, no chance, good luck to those of you who wish to gamble your money though on dangerous unreliable equipment that most of the time you have a real hard problem getting your money back on !

There are a number of recommended British sellers who sell originals with good support. I have nothing against clones, and I had a very gone DM800 clone that worked without problems until I wanted a dual tuner,but I would never buy a clone Duo, because of the many complaints over problems. It would be interesting to know what percentage don't work after a year.

honestly, whats the point ?

Buy the Genuine item (not a clone) from a reputable satellite box dealer in the uk, yes it costs more money but it may only take you a few months to save up they extra money depending on your income etc and there you have it, the real deal, genuine box, no worries, perfect guarantee, full backup source and forum to go with it too for all the genuine images etc because most genuines images do not flash to a clone box etc, they are a waste of time in my opinion, and as other users have said on the forum, most genuine boxes are getting so cheap nowdays to buy from reliable uk dealers that are 100% trustworthy that its just not worth the hassle trying to safe maybe 20 or oven 50 quid, well maybe it is for some people, but if I'm spending hundreds of pounds I would rather spend it wisely, again, its just an opinion and I know fine well about what you mean that some clones work fine etc "If your Lucky", on the other hand if your not lucky you may have just lost xxx.xx amount of pounds and all that, ive been stung once and it wont happen again unless I fall into very very hard times and I really need to scrape the money together to buy something, that's ok then and understandable, but until then, its Genuine boxes and Gadgets etc all the way for me from now on :)

[Saltire]

Remember too, the talk of the town for about 6 months now and the reason for all the Glitching etc is that a lot of people think (but don't know for sure) that sly are getting ready to do something really nasty, I wont go into detail as that's not what this thread is about, but its worth keeping in mind if buying boxes etc, I would certainly wait at least until mid winter before I bought one just to see what might be happening as there have been various dates mentioned specifically end of summer and start of winter, so, who knows, know one yet, its a chance ya take..................
