    Just Wondering

    I have a Gigablue Quad with 2 tuners I purchased at the beginning of June 2013. I was packed away for 2 months whilst I redecorated. I want to settle down with a set receiver so I can learn all the ins and outs of the setup. Thinking of getting a Duo 2 but depends on how much I would get for the Gigablue.

    I thought these boxes came with a two year warranty? When buying my quad that was one of the things that sold it for me. I've checked the sponsors website but can't find any info regarding warranty although other dealers are advertising two years.

    In the UK you'r only entitled to 12 months warranty although that can be extended at the grace of the supplier, in Germany it's 24 months by law.

    As i said in the uk your only legally entitled to 12 months unless the retailer decides to extend this, they have advertised the fact that their providing 2 years so it is 2 years.

    Another thing to point out here is that once you the original owner sells the item, the retailer is no longer legally entitled to provide any warranty for the item, you can check with trading standards if you dont believe me.

    I will contact the seller and see if the guarantee is transferable. If it is I will buy my new box from them because merchants who go beyond the norm are worth supporting, even if the price is a bit more.

    World-of-satellite.co.uk always goes above and beyond in support of his customers, I was just pointing out that some suppliers wont always honor a warranty if they dont have to.

    I'm still not sure if world of satellite offer a one or two year warranty but it doesn't bother me either way as their service is top notch. I had a problem with my box which was my fault, so they were under no obligation to fix it, but they were more than helpful in sorting it out for me. So the next time I buy a box i'll be going straight to them.

    I am not doubting what you are saying but if I am selling my Gigablue it is better if I can get the 2 year warranty transferred.
