where to buy MVP in Europe?

[cakes]

Does anyone know where they still sell MVP's in Europe? My regular hardware adressess don't seem to offer them anymore.

Depends what you mean by 'Europe' but if you google for 'hauppauge mvp' you get a few sponsored links selling them in the uk including amazon uk and amazon.com

There's always a few on ebay too

I know i'm having problems here in the UK trying to get hold of another one.

All my usual suspects were out, unless I wanted a wireless model which I don't. Dabs.com have the wireless model in stock, if thats what you're after.

I had an order with a Amazon.co.uk marketplace trader two weeks ago who claimed to have stock of 3 units (easylaptopshop.co.uk) when I ordered. It was only when I started chasing them (10 days after the order was placed, and 5 days after dispatch date), did they admit they were waiting for stock on the 11th of this month. How nice of them to waste almost 2 weeks of my time; order baleeted!!

Most other places seem to be waiting for around this time for stock too, so might be worth waiting a few days then checking. I now have an order with digital-fusion.co.uk who at least had the guts to admit they were out of stock and seem to be about the cheapest around.

Don't trust Salland automatisering, they say they have MVP's in stock, but when you order one they don't, waited for mine for allmost 3 months, canceled it and got one of e-bay, delivered within 2 days !

thanks for the directions & the advice.
A quick look at the prices on tweakers.net really make me envy those in the US with a radio shack nearby...

Yes I agree, although I know that Dynabite (Netherlands) had them for just under €50, for quite a while. Don't know if they still have them.

Here is an interesting thread on sage forums about the new HD MVP that is rumored to be due out:

Might be worth waiting to make your purchase, and could be why the MVP supply is low.

I was wondering why the prices were climbing for MVPs on Ebay. I was going to help a friend setup GBPVR with 4 MVPs and then noticed that there weren't as many available on Ebay as there used to be - and the price of a used one seems to have gone up :eek:

I been following the forum threads on sagetv and I have not seen anything to indicate the HD media extender will be mvp compatible. Also sagetv does'nt use Hauppauge protocol so even their existing dongle isn't compatible with gbpvr.
