dm8000 manufacture supply problems?

  • Folks,
    I ordered a DM8000 from hm-sat some weeks ago and as yet, nothing has shipped. The seller, hm-sat informs me that DMM has not informed them when they can expect stock. I have no reasons to think hm-sat is telling porkies.. sat-place and others are also showing longer delivery times for the receiver. This suggests there is yet another issue, either one that is halting production or just some kind of issue at the production end.


    Can anyone confirm this?


    Even better, can DMM answer if there are some issues getting supply of the receiver and if not, why are some sellers unable to get stock.


    It's very frustrating for a receiver that is at least 2 years late, to now being sold €200 more than officially stated by DMM (based on an email DMM sent me) and now seemingly having stock supply issues (or something else).


    DMM as usual is quiet.
