Thanks Colin - I did wonder....

Had a bit of good luck (can't say it was planning) as the shiny black ex WD external hard disk case I used for my NIM tuner is exactly the same size and colour as the PIPO! It even has room to put the Lipo battery pack in :-)

We had nightmares...
1st BATC failed to send tuners & wanted assurances that we were not using them commercially.
Chinese suppliers just want the cash.
2nd We spent months (four members) trying to register for TUTIOUNE software download but no replies as yet.

We spent months (four members) trying to register for TUTIOUNE software download but no replies as yet.
1)At the beginning of this year, vivadatv forum was hardly invaded by Russian spammer robots. I was obliged to change the questions asked for registering.
2) when we have done many tests at Low SR using the Tune Monitor, the server provider was not happy with the amount of MySQL requests we have by hour, so he shut down our server frequently.
We have done a migration to Evariste F5OEO server. Now we have encounter no limitation about MySQL requests.
But the mail server for the forum was no more working, I received no more a message when someone was registering, so I was obliged to check by myself almost everyday to see if if there is someone that ask for registering. Perhaps I have missed some people at this step.
Now the mail system is working OK.
In the list of people waiting for an activation of their registering, I see no call sign today.
If you send me a private email with your call sign and your email address , I will register you and will change yourself your password.
Several people have already asked for that and it was done immediately.

I received a VAT invoice from DHL for the Pipo for £15.44 including their £8 handling charge. :(

I have just received my PiPO.

It is not CE marked and comes with an unfused 13A to American socket mains adapter.

Where did you order from? I ordered mine from Holland and didn't pay any VAT or duty.
My price was $117.89

Mine came from China, which may be the reason. There was no mention of VAT when DHL delivered it a few weeks ago. The bill has has only just turned up.
