I would be very surprised if a small business could get it at a price that cheap to be able to sell it at a profit, add shipping. I think at Amazons price it's a steal (John Lewis have it at £219). You're much more likely to actually get something if you order from somewhere you know

although page 40 claims to show how to set manual recording time on my box { version 121 R } the instructions dont work.
Has anyone being able to make a manual recording ? and how did you manage it ? ----------- Anyone having remote problems { another remote may have similar codes and has reprogrammed the unit by error. } This key combination may reset it: - Point the remote at the unit - Press & hold down the "right" and "OK" key for >5 s - Remote LED will flash twice |

EU rules require 2 year warranties anyway. Interestingly, Apple were recently slammed for trying to evade this.
http://www.computerworlduk.com/news/...year-warranty/ The case of Apple is linked to Italy, Spain etc, not the UK, though I think Apple have put a blanket warranty increase across all EU countries just to be sure. |

Can anyone help.
I've just received my echostar today, but I'm having a problem with my Slingbox ID When I add a device in Slingbox.com website I enter the Slingbox ID code and the password I get "Invalid Sling ID" Can anyone help I have just purchased an EchoStar HDS-600RS and have the same issue as you. I was just wondering, did you manage to get the issue resolved? I have spoken to Slingbox support and they have said I need to send the box back which I find quite strange for a seemingly minor error (everything else seems to be functioning fine). Would be most grateful for any feedback, as I could not see any responses to your post in this thread. |

In the end I just clicked on watch while on my home network making sure to use the admin password from the HDS. It then started playing even though I hadn't added the device in my account. If I didn't use the admin account I just got an error message about lack of internet connectivity, Now when I log in remotely it connects fine and starts to play. However If I click on slingbox directory it says my slingbox cannot be located even though it was just playing! |

Just tried again and managed to register my box.
Watch out for 0 (zero) and O (Letter O) in the sling ID That was the cause of my invalid sling ID error. |

It was still giving the error message but has now been accepted after doing a "factory reset", now showing in "Slingbox Directory" which it wasn't before. Unfortunately I still have not been able to watch over internet due to it now saying quality/connection issues. It works fine in my home network which is also one of the reasons I opted for the Slingbox over Humax. Crazy that support recommend sending back although a reset seems to have solved the problem. |

Crashes with ITV HD Subtitles
I tried to use ITV HD Subtitles for the first time and crashes consistently after about 5 seconds. Seems OK on all other channels/subtitles so have no idea what the cause is. I note at least one other person has had crashing with subtitles.
It resets and boots up again but you need to keep changing the channel while booting to get out of the loop. A side effect of the crashing was to only have the right hand channel via the HDMI which could only be fixed by a full factory reset. This seems to be a firmware problem so hopefully, Echostar will fix it on the next update and I will report it to them. I can only get surround sound via the optical out and not via the HDMI connector; is this normal? Regards |

I found the same re. ITV HD subs, very annoying. I couldn't change the channel away from ITV HD fast enough to escape from the box crashing. I waited until the next day when the channel was off-air and then changed away from it
