Nah just walked in and bought it cash. The first lady i spoke to said they were out of stock but then one of her colleagues checked in the back and brought one out. lucky me it was the A07 version as well

Did you just pick one up or were you on a waiting list? And if I was supposed to get a box from another store, can I get it from another branch like canal walk if they have stock?

1. Dstv now streaming was recently improved (!) but its still not proper HD though. I think the resolution might be 720p (on some channels) but the bitrate is well below the usual HD bitrate.

2. Netflix and Youtube are the kings of streaming perfection. I have a 4mb ADSL line as well and can only watch some selected shows or movies on TTV in 1080p without buffering. There are not too many links/sources that are both fast and 1080p.... Try some well known movies as they are more likely to have good fast sources.

Ah i see. Thanks for the tips

Yeah, well, going to try my luck later this afternoon .... , agree, staff are not all on the same page, and sometimes wonder if they are all in the same country. Tho some are pretty good.

Has anyone used the AV at the back of the unit successfully?

I just bought 1 from a Telkom shop. How do I check if it's A06 or A07?

Check the serial number should be on box, but is also on sticker under device.

I couldn't find any sticker showing the version on the device and the serial no. has 6 and 7 in it.

Serial number will contain A06, A07, A11 or A12

Underneath the device is a sticker with it's serial number on. The first 3 digits of the serial number will be A06, A07 etc. The example one on display here is an A07 version.

From which shop?

Wouldn't mind knowing myself, as my intended use for it is to connect it to a HDMI monitor that does not have speakers. So am intending to get audio from the AV out. Otherwise will need some sort of adapter to get audio from the HDMI output.

Hi all

sorry if this has been asked before, what is the difference with the A11 and A12 from the others? if you had to get one which would you take or are they all the same?

All are the same except a06 which has no Bluetooth and no 5ghz wifi

 

[elf_lord_ZC5]

Once again - only have stock for persons who have upgraded their line and on 24 month contract.

Sorry.
