My Paypal refund has hit my account, so I'm ready to sell my Skippa...
..If anyone wants to buy it off me, send me a PM with your best price. The highest price gets it. Don't forget that you will need to add postage on top of what you offer.

Sorry, I have a moral objection to what your suggesting.  Double dipping by getting a refund from Paypal and then flogging it off.

...
So which is the best model?
In terms of reliability.

The $100 off deal is only for T2s.

Totally stealing Peturu's post from the BW Forum from July 2015.  If you're interested in the T2;
"There is also the T2, which has the same amount of RAM and flash as T3, but only two tuners. In terms of speed, the T2 is faster than T3, but slower than T4.

The T2 can do full 1080p, like the T4, but no PIP at all. The T2 has no front panel display at all, only a power LED.

The T2 is a lot smaller than T3 or T4 (or any DP-series) and only takes 2.5" (laptop size) HDDs. The T2 has no fans and if you chose an SSD variant, you can have a completely silent box.

In my opinion the T2 is actually a very, very nice box. If you have multiple screens in the house, I would probably recommend getting a few T2. The way the T-series can network and share content, you would end up with a very convenient and flexible solution.

My setup has T2, T3 and T4, with various sized drives and different sets of autotimers on each box. Playing content from any T-series on any other T-series is very easy as is playing files from the NAS. The DP-series PVRs I had previously are all decommissioned now and no one is missing them at all after taking about a month or so to adjust to the different user interface on the T-series.

The T-series are pretty good media players too. So far they can handle more media files than any other media player box I've ever owned."

The T2 normally is only a dual tuner, however it looks like it currently comes with an additional USB tuner to make it a 3 tuner machine, capable of recording 8 channels across 3 stations.

Damn, I'm talking myself into this.....

Ahh, so it is.  Easy for you Mark, it's still before midnight for a sand groper!   ;)

Interesting reading - only $15K in their company bank account!

Paypal will only take disputes within 180 days of the transaction so anyone prior to early July I expect will be out of luck with that process.

Beyonwiz DP Series has probably got the best I've seen for recordings.  If it's already recorded, stop at any point and the BW will remember where you last were.  Alternatively, you can set multiple bookmarks along the timeline (whether chase-play or recording) and jump to any of them.

At least they have not sent out an email saying there has been a further delay in delivery.

LOL - No that will only arrive late Friday  :(

That is just cruel ....  :-[

Ian

Should we place bets?   ;)  Tomorrow is two weeks from Heinz' email and still no confirmed sightings of Skippa in the wild across multiple forums.

Right on schedule, here comes the email!

Sorry, I've stayed quiet on this, happy to bide my time and wait and not complain, but to now find out that Plex may not be available is extremely frustrating.  Having the availability of Plex was, in my case, one of the tipping points in choosing a Skippa over another product.  >:(

Whilst I can use DLNA to access my media, it's not even in the same ballpark.

Dave, this was your quote from the below link "Opera TV Store - 100s of apps (mostly free) including Plex"

I ordered mine about a week after that post.

This is starting to remind me of when the DP-S1 was released with the box's packaging noting a whole raft of features, with an asterisk/small print that some features would require a firmware update to implement.
