is there any risky to buy used UBI box?

just want to ask , is there any risky to buy used UBI box? from ebay or private? thx

The only risk is it might not work and u dont get any warranty

how about , starting of membership with UBI? i mean if i buy a used box, would i be able to start membership with UBI? will it be any problem with UBI?

yes u would. no it won't.

i just spoke UBI, rep said, i have had experince that some customers bought box from second hand and they want to be a member, and we couldnt activate that box? i only want to know any (ex tarbs) ubi 3100 box bought from someone else will i be able to member without problem? that's all i want.. thx

It all depends on who you buy it from why they did with it and how they treated it there isen't one answer here it all depends on what has been done to the box ie. faulty, played with etc.

If your really worried about these things i would just get a new one as then if anything happens you do have warranty with it

but problem is i have to pay double for new box

well if you get a box that doesnt work will end up costing you more aswell wouldt it Your choice really <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/default/wink.gif" />

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by LAZERSAT: The only risk is it might not work and u dont get any warranty <hr /></blockquote>Somebody said to me that if I buy an ex-Tarbs box, when I ring UBI, to activate, they have a look if the previous owner of the box was financal whith Tarbs if he wasn,t I have to pay the money in arrears and only than I could register with UBI. Does anyone confirm this version? Thank you.

More rubbish!! The one i heard is If you buy a TARBS box and if it was subscribed with the Adults channel when tarbs was running the minute you connect it to UBI's Spanish channel the box will shut down because 99% of Spanish people are Christians and the devil has been in the box.

Miggy The Lusitan, UBI WORLD TV do not check any TARBS records. UBI WORLD TV only check the IRD/SC numbers to make sure the IRD/SC numbers aren't already tied to a UBI WORLD TV contract.
