I bought a 4-way distribution amplifier to replace an old one made by another company. Ordering and delivery went as planned. The amplifier is a solid piece of kit, built to last. Easy to fit. Works well. Nice one !

Ordered 2 aerials and a masthead amp. All received 3 days after ordering. Well pleased with this speedy response.

I was pleased with the price and items received however the experience was somewhat marred by DX Couriers. Expecting 2 items in the shipment they only delivered 1 and tracking confirmed 1 of 2 scanned onto delivery vehicle. When I contacted DX they confirmed the second parcel was still in Sheffield at the collection depot. This meant I had to wait in a second day for the rest of the order to arrive.
