I just turned on my Skippa to be greeted with a purple screen.
It is the second time this as happened and no button pressing on the remote will help.
Last time I had to pull the power cable from the back.

We need a reset feature on the Skippas front panel buttons if the hardware will allow it.

I hope the purple screen is just a hdmi cable problem and will try later.
Hopefully someone here might know what is causing it.

I just got my Skippa in Mornington Vic.
Will have a play with it later today as going to buy some speakers as only using the TV's crappy internal ones.
Just getting some Logitec pc ones for now.

Yes it is smaller than I expected as well.

Kevin

My Skippa has arrived in Sunsine West (VIC) so it's getting close. That's probably about 50kms away as the crow flies. However estimated delivery is "by 30 Sep"  :'(

Mine is in Sunshine west as well but the delivery date was the the 25th Sept but now is the 28 Sept.
So not until after the weekend but you never now with Australia Post.
Mine has to go to Mornington so hopeful sooner.

I could pick it up from Sunshine West if it was a choice but I'll just have to wait.

Kevin

Those in Sydney metro may well be lucky yet for delivery tomorrow.

If you actually click on the tracking link in the email, you should probably see what I'm seeing, they have actually scanned in now at an Australia Post facility in Chullora, NSW, so have officially been collected clearly and are on their merry way, it's no longer just an electronic lodgement, they are moving!

:)

Mark

Telstra and Foxtel have a logistics centre in Chullora (might be the same place).
Both used Startrack for my deliveries from them

Seems I will have had a few deliveries go through Chullora this year.
I just hope the Skippa is better than the T-Box and the IQ3.

Kevin

I can't imagine they're next day. Pity.

As long it's on it's way.

It may depend on who you know  :o

Ian

Kevin

Oh Crap!  What are we gonna bitch about how????


I feel so empty ;)

I know your on holidays with the kids and wont be back till Sunday week!!!!!! :)
Who might have that problem. :)
Not me anyway.

Kevin

The Skippa is real yeahhhhh haaaaa!!!!!!
You beauty!!!!

Ok I have calmed down now lol
Now to actually see it here.

Kevin

A usually reliable source  :-X reports that the first shipment has arrived at the IceTV warehouse. First pick-up by Australia Post (or whoever is doing the delivery) should be tomorrow.

Not sure when the emails with the tracking numbers will start hitting in-boxes.

If I hear anything more, I will make a further post ....

Ian

That is good news.
Will check later how long a delivery to the Mornington Peninsula should take, although it is usually the same as South East Of Melbourne.

They seemed to have let zoszos68 put a post up on here instead of the Friday 5pm email......its called outsourcing ;)

But I haven't been paid yet. :'(
Then come to think of it when was I contracted to do this ;D

Kevin

I just got an email regarding my previous enquiry about Skippa and was I satisfied with their support.
Well I told them them how I felt and got this reply almost instantly.

"Hi Kevin,

Thank you for contacting IceTV Customer Service.

Leon would have believed that your Skippa was in the first small batch that arrived 2 weeks ago. Sorry about that.

Your Skippa order is in the 1st big shipment of Skippas which finally(!) left the factory last Monday and they arrived at Sydney airport today. Depending how soon they can be unloaded, clear Australian customs and get delivered to the Sydney warehouse some may be posted to customers today. Otherwise this whole shipment will be posted to customers on Monday.

You will receive an email with an Australia Post tracking number when your order is dispatched.

Best Regards,

Dave
IceTV Support Team"

Kevin

I sent a message to sales today to ask about the Skippa and have the arrived in Sydney and this in the reply.

"Hi Kevin,

Thank you for contacting IceTV Customer Service.

Yes they have arrived - and your order is being processed, so you should get a tracking number soon, as it will be sent within a few days.

Best Regards,

Leon
IceTV Support Team

IceTV Pty Limited
Level 1/20 Chandos Street, St Leonards, NSW 2065"

Hope that's makes a few happy.

Kevin

I notice the IceTV website now says the The Skippas orders are to be fulfilled in the  last week of August instead of shipped.
So to be fulfilled would mean that the customers have received them and Monday is the last day for that to happen.

I think they should say shipped as the have no control over when the Skippas actuality arrive to the customers as anything may arise to slow delivery which is out of there control.
Either way as long as there on there way I will be happy.

Kevin

At one stage I got an email saying "fulfilled" instead of "shipped".
I think shipped is want they should stick to as fulfilled is when we receive it.
Hopefully they are on there way soon as using the IQ3 which needs better software to be reliable and the Skippa will have more features for fta.

Kevin

 bodogbodog no one said it was three months late just that they paid three months ago.
So it has been a three month wait since paying.

Kevin

Same here 3 months and counting.
I just hope I get an email soon with a tracking number so then at least I know it's on it's way.
