Thats an excellent price and a good box, lost of support on the terrestrial forum here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056680966&page=50

Definitely a bargain

Very good price, cheaper even than Poland. I suppose it could be bankrupt stock or an unlikely loss leader but I have to say, it brings out the sceptic in me.

Tony

Definitely a loss leader as its below distributor trade price.

Is that the place that was 'closing down' for about a year, think the name's changed now though?. I'm almost certain they deal with a lot of liquidation stock. Most of which is absolute muck!! It explains the lower than trade price on those. Nice to hear of something good showing up in it

Yes thats thats the one, its changed names a few times since its been there it was some kind of x-factory discount or something like that at one time now its got like hen party uniforms and the like in there and some stationary. - strange place to find the boxes though, if you blink you would miss them but they are hanging up behind the counter. Sign there saying cheaper than Curry's etc and when I was buying it the guy said its exactly the same as the box in currys over 100euro.

Tony

I'm open to correction but I don't believe curry's ever stocked ferguson arivas.

Its between pull and bear river island I think and on the same side yes wine street entrance - its not the Inspire shop ...

Just beware that I dont think the box has any Digital Text or red button Interactive services (Mheg5) that might be a big deal to some people, but others who just want to watch Satellite and Irish DVB-T channels only and not worried about interactive services wont be an issue.

I rushed up here early , the shop is called something likefazmatastic, and squinted in the window, saw the sign for the ferguson box, looks like they're all gone. Ah well nice trip to the other shops and save that cash.wish I'd spotted it sooner, thanks op.

ah thats a shame - were they not open then? maybe they dont open till 2pm on a Sunday - I doubt if u would have seen them through window because u have to walk in shop and look left and their behind counter on wall ....

Aha! Came back later in the day, and left my number with the girl, wandered about looking at furry leopard print hats, and she went out the back and said, 'we have one left!'
So I got it, thanks very much again Andy, now just waiting to get the tea set from brodricks !

Good luck with it, great little box, certainly a bargain at that price.
