[Techno]

To get you to buy the "new improved version" for an extra £400

Also the new one is equivalent to a 75cm dish

Are they all twin LNB?

Looks like a bargain?

As far as I'm aware they are both single LNB.

I would definately have the twin LNB if I was buying
Twin LNB HD freesat receiver with 500gb hard drive cheap as chips

The importers Avtex say equivalent to a 60cm dish were as the basic Snipe is equivalent to a 65cm dish.

I stand corrected Avtex don't even list the Pro on their website and they are the importers.

Look at the 2nd photo only two connectors, they are both standard F connectors one for the single LNB and one for the controller.
I recon Its a standard Snipe they are listing incorrectly

I imagine it is merely a generic image, the same seller also sells single LNB £80 cheaper.

Either Avtex aren't bothering to keep their site up to date or others are importing them.

 

[Techno]

Avtex are just a shop front they don't make them.They obviously just select the items they think they can sell for enough profit margine and rebadge it.

 

[Techno]

If I didn't have a fairly new 40cm Roadpro I would buy one

If you have enough capital anyone can buy from Alibaba

For clarity-the Avtex Pro-Max is a different bit of kit to the Pro. We got ours fitted on site by these people:
http://www.autoadditionsnationwide.com/#!satelites/cyxh

Despite the Pro-Max not being listed on their site it did come from Avtex & we got ours fitted on site for £1300.

I don't know, but would imagine that the Pro-Max is an improvement over the Pro. I am very pleased with it & the after-sales service from the fitter when we had a problem. The problem proved to be with our old Avtex TV that we had to return for repair for free-3 year warranty.

I've always found technical support at Avtex very helpful.

 

[Techno]

Some outlets sell all the models

Just had a reply back from one of the eBay sellers.

" The reason it shows one is that we have not got a image yet from Selfsat showing the extra LNB port, as the twin has only been out for 3 months.
We are currently the only company in the UK able to get this (along with our other eBay stores)"

I notice they sell it with the base plate, so it's only Avtex that are saying it's not suitable for roof mounting.

 

[Techno]

You'd think the muppet would just get his smartphone out and take some pictures! lazy gits

 

[Lenny HB]

Looks like Avtex have lost their sole import rights to it, that's life these days manufacturers will sell to whoever will buy no loyalty anymore.
