Honesty

This is a little rant I'm afraid. I know it's basically my fault BUT!!!!!

Sometimes when at clients premises, I have to use a series of rescue/installation discs to resolve an issue.

Sometimes, it can take quite a few hours to sort out the multiple problems people allow to accumulate on their computer before seeking professional help. A lot of which is helped along by the 'bar room fixers' who know absolutely sod all in real terms about much at all.

They don't know what the real problem is because they've not seen it and clients rarely know how to describe the problem fully anyway - not that there's anything wrong with that, I don't expect it.

The client then goes and mis-follows the wrong advice they've been given and make an even bigger dogs breakfast of the whole thing and after they've totally screwed their computer, they call me.

Now to the point of my rant.

After I've spent hours sorting out the cock-up, I put my things back in my bag (or so I think) and head off home. Some days, or even weeks, later I open my bag looking for the discs to find that I've accidentally left at my clients.

The annoying thing is the client, who now has a full set of service and recovery discs that I've paid for, and doesn't have a clue in hell how to use them, hasn't had the decency to ring me and let me know I've left them. This has happened every time I've done it.

I now have to go through the time and expense of getting a new set of dics together.

ONE THING YOU GET FROM ME IS HONESTY, IF YOU CAN'T RETURN THE FAVOUR THEN YOU DON'T DESERVE THE SERVICES I OFFER.

​I will work out where I left them and that person will have a heavy bill next time they call me!

It just goes to show, there's a lot of really dishonest immigrants out there.

Airbox Spain, the air is clear. Raspberry Pi's all round then.

Some of you may have seen a previous article about Airbox Spain and might wonder what's happened to it. I'll tell you.

Following a pleasant chat to clear the air with the guys at Airbox, I decided to remove in its' entirety the article relating to the bad service of that company and the poor performance of its' product. I wasn't asked to, forced to or otherwise induced to.

It must be stressed that my only experience of the Airbox product was through our mutual client who was totally dissatisfied with it, and that experience may, or may not be the norm. I am not in a position to say one way or the other because I just don't know. I can only form my own opinion of what I saw.

The points that really concern me about all of this are that they never once asked about, nor made mention of, our mutual customer to see if there was anything they could do to resolve that persons problems and never addressed the points mentioned but preferred to make 'sarcastic' (their word) comments about me and my business. Says it all really.

Airbox assure me that theirs is a solid and reliable product worth every cent of €279 for 12 months followed by a monthly subscription.

They also assure me that they developed the system which they are charging you for, that broadcasts the paid for premium content over the internet to your Airbox which is totally illegal without the content owners permission. Premium content owners never give their permission for this to anyone.

That opportunity has now passed and I hope this is my last diatribe on the airbox product as I feel everything has been said that can be said at this time.

What I will tell you all about though, is that if you want something that performs a similar (not same) function to airbox for a lot less, is that you mosey on over here - click here.

Here you can get all the help you need to set up your own Raspberry Pi IPTV box and get TV, sports and movie channels with no subscription. The only outlay you will have is for the Raspberry Pi and the bits to get it going which amounts to roughly €60 which is over €200 saving for your first year alone.

Links to all the free software and advice and guidance in how to put it it all together are provided by knowledgeable and helpful people who have already done it themselves and are happy to share their experiences with you. The guys over there will even source the equipment for you.

Even the non-techies are building their own IPTV boxes!!

So the bottom line is;

Currently, you can pay Airbox Spain €279 for your first year then pay them a monthly subscription.
OR
You can pay €60 with NO subscription.

You pays your money and makes your choice but just remember one really really really important point. Anyone streaming premium channels over the internet and then charging you for it is acting illegally because they do not have permission from the content provider to do that.

It is rebroadcasting and rebroadcasting without the content owners permission is always illegal and internet servers are an easy target for the broadcast companies to find, shut down and fine. Just so you know.
