    Dreambox Magic has closed it's doors

    Just got an email from them to say they are closing due to not being able to compete in price with the Chinese imports .....

    Cheers

    did you follow the link in that email and see the price of a 500c! ?39.99 might get another one for the bedroom at that price.

      Hi Wiiman.


      Yeah I initially followed link and posted in forum same details as you. However by following online ordering through to card detail it is plain to see (as confirmed in that email) that goods will come directly from China. No problem to me on that front, but the minimum delivery charge is ?23.62 so total price is ?63.61.

      Still not a bad price, but customs/China/unknown service sort of have to come into play.

        must be due to the various sites closing their cable section.

          Nope, its because they cant compete with the chinese imports now.

            I've bought from them (the manufacturer) before and avoided customs charges. A friend of mine didn't get so lucky, i'll see if i can find out how much the charge was.

                gotta say its a bit suspect that they close the same time dw loose there cable section.......

                thats just my opinion....

                im sure DM were paying a lot less than us anyway prob about ?45 a unit....
                inc delivery.....

                just a guess thou..... but im sure if you email the chinaman and ask for a quote of 20 units he'll give you a very good price???

                gotta wonder what virgin will do next???? with everyones cable section going.... not sure how people will know or even get the updates???
