Hi guys,
Michael asked me to drop by and clear some stuff up....
First, Amiko Americas is the sole authorized distributor for Amiko in North America. Any Amiko product purchased from anyone but an Amiko Americas Authorized Retailer in North America carries ZERO warranty, gets ZERO support, has no North American satellite list, features, Apps or much of anything else. If you really want to buy something from a Europe dealer pick well, because all support and any warranty would be from that individual dealer, not us or Amiko. They also aren't cheaper to buy from a Europe dealer so you aren't saving anything.
Second, the "Jenny A3 Irish Red Specials" in my retail store are a special purchase. I won't get into the confidential fine details. Basically Jen (who more or less runs the retail business end) purchased the Red's from me up front. She got the same terms that any Amiko Americas Retailer would get. They will most likely be available under similar terms to any Authorized Retailer in under a month minus the custom ROM, userdata package and custom XBMC build that Jen mostly did herself.
Third, no one including my own retail store can match the "Irish Red" pricing with a black A3. As I mentioned the Reds were a special purchase. The cost on the black units is higher. If I was offering A3 Black right now in my retail store they would be $179 + shipping. I can't put the Irish Red custom ROM, data package or the Irish Red XBMC on a black unit either.
Fourth, the custom 2.0.70 ROM on those units is Americanized with the same 8W-139W NA satellite list as all other NA A3's. The ROM was built from a custom ROM that I did for 2pc Red A3 that we sent to a friend in Ireland. The Ireland/EU specific stuff was stripped out for the "Jenny" version offered here in North America.
2.0.70 is the authorized stable version for any A3 as of 4 May 2015. You can update any Amiko Americas A3, Irish Red or not using the Spark Updater App. A3 ROMs available from the updater App are OTA's, basically meaning they won't break your satellite list or anything else when installed correctly. I do recommend running the new Eurotrash v0.5 Beta after updating any ROM to clean out unneeded Europe stuff and to make your A3 run faster and more stable.
Finally, Martyn mentioned trying to "email" me but that I don't accept private messages. To explain, I have PM's turned off here and at my own forum. The reason why, especially her at Satguys where I am a guest, is that PM's are constantly about business. I consider it rude at best to conduct business by PM in someone else's forum. If someone needs to contact me privately concerning business or product questions I'm not hard to find but it shouldn't be done VIA someone else's Forum.
Just hit the little I/O power icon and then exit and it goes back to APPS and works great no rebooting.
