I think in some cases this "refurbished" actually means "fresh from the skip".0

Why are you all being so unreasonable about "refurbished"?
"Brand new" items are just as likely to be "dead on arrival", and cost a lot more. Still, if your prejudice prevents you from taking advantage of these moneysaving opportunities, then it's a bit odd that you're on this site at all, but all the more for the rest of us! :beer: Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.0 -
It won't deter me from making future refurbished purchases. I'm just bitter and twisted about this one going wrong

I didnt find the DUEL or DUAL in Asda, any help?Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"0 -
I think the one in Asda was £99.50...at least it was in my local.0
-
the £99.50 is a goodmans branded one which is the exact same product but badged goodmans.... the dual is £80 which again is the exact same product but branded Dual by asda..... They had about 6 of the Dual ones in the Nuneaton store....0

These boxes were excluded from the Argos money back guarantee so must have been returned as faulty and seem to have been sent out without checks.
The minority of lucky people are the ones who bought boxes with software faults (factory reset) or minor cosmetic glitches, missing batteries etc...
The majority have bought useless boxes.
All this for a saving of £15 on an 80 quid box. . . :rotfl:0 -
How can you come to that conclusion from a sample of one?Gondo wrote:These boxes were excluded from the Argos money back guarantee so must have been returned as faulty and seem to have been sent out without checks. Of course they wouldn't be returned faulty and sent out again - that would simply be Dabs throwing money down the drain dealing with the ensuing mess. Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.0 -

Look at Dabs reviews esp page 2 . . .0 -
Just ordered one too..I have a Humax PVR8000T which has been one of the best gadgets I've ever bought..curious about this, can't wait to try it. Thanks OP!
Worried I might get a dud though..
Edit: On second thoughts, with the reviews being so dodgy, I'm going to get one from a pal that works in Asda. I've cancelled the Dabs order.0
