Hi Germany is part of EU so there should be no taxesThanks for all your replies, can any one tell me if when you buy an item from ebay, you have to pay extra taxes etc as this product is from Germany? it's not clear at all on the ebay site.
Thanks,
Lee.
Hi Roger,The latest version is the Avtex Snipe Pro Max-maybe compare?
Roger
Hi Roger,Spot on Lee. We are fulltiming at the moment prior to house-hunting in France next month. We bought it for its claimed performance as far south there as we intend to go. We'll have to see how good it really is when we get there!
We have a 16" Avtex tv & that worked perfectly on digital with our external suction mount Avtex aerial. Got a bit fed up with threading the cable through the kitchen window!
Our Pro Max cost £1300 fitted & has been great in UK-we are sitting on the proceeds of our house sale so loadsa money at the moment. Also I'm not a d-i-y er with the van!
Really just wanted to make sure you got what you wanted-it is a good price.
Roger
Could you pick up French channels on the digital through the aerial?Hi,
Once we went south in France-nothing from UK. This is it Broken Link Removed
We used campsite wifi & an expat network subscription to watch Silent Witness & other stuff we like. The Snipe Pro Max is supposed to work with the smaller footprint for UK tv BUT we'll see in a few weeks!
Roger
Thanks Roger, hope all works well with your new kit.Yes we could on a fairly random basis. We mostly use the internet that varied according to the number of campers who were logging on & off. Apparently Filmon.tv is an alternative.
Hoping the new kit will work a lot better for us?
Hi All,
I've read in the blurb that these units run off 12-24 volts. My question is, does that mean it only works from a DC source, or is there a mains (stepped down) option? Reason I ask is that I only have one 12v outlet in the hab area and I use that to power other gizmos.
For security reasons, I would intend to use the unit portably (i.e. place it atop the van by popping it out through a large Hekki roof light and bring it in/hide it when not in use) I don't really want to permanently mount it on top using the plate. However, the 12v outlet is at the other end of the van! I know the units come with 12m of cable, but don't particularly want wires trailing all over the place!
Anyone give me a few setup ideas? Perhaps a separate 12v supply? I have a few small 12v mobility scooter batteries knocking around in the garage that came gratis. Will they do? Presumably, you only need power for the unit when searching for a satellite? Or does it need constant power for the controller?
The 12m cables are from the sat unit to the controller & TV/Tuner, 12v power cable is only 1½ - 2m. Yes they need a 12 v supply when I tested mine before fitting I just used a 12v power supply I had around, if you want to run it of mains just buy a 12v supply for a few quid.Hi All,

Base is W454 x D316 mm x H188mm, the atenna is slightly wider I'll get a ladder out later an check for you.Hi can someone please supply the folded dimensions of the unit with base plate. I would like one but have very limited space. Thank you Daz
