faraway saint Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Since I can't update the original thread this will have to do. Received an email today informing me that, as things stand, the TV and satellite system no worky. Now I'm not keen to fork out any additional cash as the satellite system and TV were sold, verbally, in working order. I'm just contemplating my response. 🙄 Unable tomos box anneldel.

If the wording of the email states, or implies, that you were previously told that it was working, then you should be able to get your deposit back or have the system fixed before you collect it.

The wording of the email indicates that the system has just been checked and these issues have came to light. I would have thought this would have been checked when they received it from the previous owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought this would have been checked when they received it from the previous owner. If it was advertised as having it then (in my opinion) you would be right to assume that it is working. Otherwise they could just stick a new one, still in the box, inside the vehicle and claim that it has one. Just tell them to fix it before you collect it, as it was obviously priced assuming that it was working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were advertised as part of the items included and, as such, should be in working order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading, and re-reading the email I received today there is no mention that I would need to pay to sort the issues. In fact I've just had a phone call from the owner who assures me there will be no cost, the email was just for information purposes, although I had no need to know that there was an issue. He also informed me a new oven has been fitted as the original was showing signs of wear & tear. All good for picking it up next Friday. The next worry is driving the thing and parking it in the driveway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 Got a phone call yesterday from their tech guy who explained that as we wanted the TV to work "off grid" as well as when we were "hooked up" at an official camp he'd install a certain type of TV that can work off the leisure battery in the motorhome. I'm sure this will be one of many things that I wasn't aware of. He also mentioned I can run my Firestick, including IPTV, depending on the strength of the WIFI signal.

We’ve taken up Starlink” for Wi-Fi at the cottage and getting 270 Mb of download (which is mental). They do a package for motorhomes, boats etc….£75.00 per month but you’re not in contract and can switch package on and off when your not using it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great speed but a bit too rich for my liking mate. We're planning to use our phones as a hot spot and use our data from them. Mrs Faraway will sign up for unlimited data from her provider and we'll see how that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
