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  :(

Very Jealous! I was hoping mine might come this week but I haven't seen any emails or packages..
My order was just under 200800..
Would be excellent if it shows up tomorrow!

LOL - mine was 200810 and alas, I have not seen Skippa either   :'(

I got mine today! Can't wait until I get home!

Did you get an email notice before you got your Skippa, that it was on it's way?

Are we there yet?

Last week of August has arrived and after a Very long Gestation, the birth of triplets is eagerly awaited, following on from the earlier disappointment of scans promising quadruplets not being accurate

The birth of little Skippa is just days away hopefully  :)

"we're still on for the last week of August."

Thanks for the update Dave, fingers crossed  ;)

will we be able to run presto with skippa

I'd like to see STAN added as well, as I currently subscribe to them and I am happy with their content  :)

"That was a poor choice of words from us"

Thanks Dave for the clarification, yes, not clearly communicated in the email but your clarification is more encouraging and hopefully the stated delivery time-line will be met  8)

Beat ya :)

LOL, Yes you did  ;D

[pre-production run]

"Not sure why you would think IceTV has not manufactured and extensively tested pre-production units yet."


From IceTV email of the 19/06/15:
   "Next week, we'll manufacture our first batch of SKIPPAs in a pre-production run."

I also thought their schedule was overly optimistic, given the pre-production units had not been manufactured yet!

Like you Rat, I thinks we are probably more than a couple of months away from seeing our Skippas  :(

We can live in hope and they may prove us wrong  ;)

I am also pleased to hear that us early adopters will have autoskip included for the life of the Skippa box, but like others, was very surprised to hear that this feature will be subscription based!

Certainly this is the first we have heard of that and you would have to wonder how this will affect sales going forward? Especially since the release of the BW highly specked T4 with 4 Tuners

"they can't help delivery timeframes around the country pushing delivery dates into August."

Yeah, post them on the 31/07/15 and you can't help deliveries occurring in August   8)

"Although I do have a suspicion that the dealer quoted an unreasonably early delivery date to get the sale"

A bit like the IceTV PVR with 4 Tuners that was supposed to happen mid last year   ;D

I'm not too fussed over the delay, we have come to expect that, but of course I am hoping to get my new toy as soon as possible   8)

LOL "July or first week in August."

August it is then  ;D  The ever slipping timeline

The only question I have left now is does it live up to itself on paper... That will be the big question and I can't wait to find that out...

Mark

Agreed, on paper it looks just like what I want in a PVR, already owning a FetchTV, I can cope with the reduction to 3 Tuners and now look forward to receiving my Skippa  ;D
