Hello all,
I have set up a sucessful GBPVR rig, and have been "playing" with it for weeks now. The WAF on a PC in the living room is low, so I was planning on setting this machine up as a server elsewhere, then running a cable to an MVP in the living room (plus others elsewhere later).
My sticking point is this: I cannot get hold of a MediaMVP for love nor money in the UK. I have had one on order with Dabs for well over two months. They keep giving a delivery date, then hauppage keeps knocking back the dates, this has happened about 3 times now. Each time it is 3-4 weeks away, it counts down, then jumps back up to 3-4 weeks. I have a coworker in a similar situation, ordering through another company. There is just one location that I can find a retailer with stock (they will remain unnamed), but they are charging well over twice the price of anyone else!
Before I get desperate, buckle in and buy the from the rip-off mechants, does anyone know of any retailers in the uk with stock. Lots say "available in 3-4 weeks", but from what I can tell, they all are in the same boat with happauge's delivery slips.
Any ideas?
