If you e-mail us,

Please use the contact forms above, they are given priority over all other emails.
We receive well over 100 e-mails per day and we do try to answer them.
It is very important to use the contact forms above.
These come straight through with no problems and are given priority. Using our e-mail address can result
in us not receiving the e-mail since we do have a strong spam filter in place and sometimes genuine
e-mails may be blocked.
On a busy day it may be that the answer will be in the following morning as often we catch up with mails from
7.30 till 9.00am before the phone lines start. If the phone is ringing every few minutes during the day,
answering e-mails may be delayed till the next morning.
There are some mails we will respond to with a "set answers",
If the mail is covered by an FAQ, you will directed to the FAQs on these advice pages.
If you require email support on a product you have purchased from us, this is done through the
after sales support form on the contact forms above. You will need your invoice number.
If you have bought a product elsewhere, you should contact that company for support
and not us. We look after our customers, not customers from other companies.
There are some e-mails we will not answer.
E-mails that are not in English are immediately deleted.
Answering 100s of e-mails takes time and working out what "text language" all means is something
we do not have time to do. We only answer questions in English. Text language
e-mails will be deleted.
We are a SATELLITE company. We do not answer questions about aerials, or cable (e.g. NTL).
We do not sell products for cable users. Contact your cable provider.
We do not provide advice on “internet via satellite.”
We do not provide advice on satellite computer cards.
We do not provide advice on "card programming" or card programmers.
If you would like advice about receiving a particular channel, please state which
satellite it is on (there are over 8000 channels in the sky) and include where you live (which country)
if we are to advise on dish sizes etc.
If you are asking several questions and e-mails are going back and forwards
between you and us, you must include all of the e-mail history below from the previous e-mails.
You cannot expect us to remember your exact circumstances from one mail
to another. We rely on the history to be able to remember your circumstances.
Customers using aol tend not to include the previous e-mail history. Please do so.

Many companies simply do not answer their e-mails. We try to answer all of ours with the exception
of the categories above. If you send a mail and it is not answered
it may have been accidentally deleted. This can happen as we receive (as I am sure you do)
large amounts of junk mail every day and it is possible that a genuine mail may be accidentally
deleted among the junk mail. If you think that has happened please send it again.
Through the contact forms there should be no problems
We do try to answer all genuine e-mails.
We try to answer emails within 24 hours. Often much faster.

Dear satellite enthusiast,

I hope you find our on-line satellite product catalogue interesting and we look forward to your business
in the future. Feel free to ask for advice on system planning and upgrading. Technical advice is also
available most of the time by e-mail and telephone advice is available during office hours.
Vision started in 1991 although it was a small part of our other business from 1989. In 1998
the Satellite Superstore web site started. We pride ourselves in offering a comprehensive range of
high quality products. Even though it is a wide range but you will find that products do have to
be well made, heavy duty, and reliable or we WILL NOT STOCK THEM. Therefore some products that many
other dealers carry are NOT included in our range. We believe it is this policy and the resulting customer
trust in our judgement that is the main reason we have continued to grow while other companies have come and
gone. Please take the time to read the advice pages. Advice is also included on the many product pages as well.
Since we have been in this business a long time you may be interested in checking-out our museum as well.

Waste disposal of old equipment.

If you are buying a new product from us and you already have an equivalent product that now needs
to be disposed of, maybe it is faulty or out of date and needs to be upgraded, you
can, if you wish, return the old item to us for disposal at our trade counter. The address is shown
on our contact page, and the opening times are also shown on the same page.
(e.g. Old for new - If you are buying a new satellite receiver and would like the old receiver to be
disposed of, hand it in at our trade counter and we will dispose of it for you.)
This is a free service and it follows the guidance of the Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment Regulations 2006.

Recycling reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods
to landfill. Under tha WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should be marked with the
crossed-out wheeled symbol and be disposed of separately from normal houshold waste

Prices, terms of business.

Prices on this site are usually very accurate but can
change without notice. Product specifications may change without notice.
We cannot be held responsible if a manufacturer changes the specification of
a product we sell. This may happen without notice.
When a product does change, we are not always able to update the
picture on the web site. This is particularly true with LNBs
where a manufacturer may change the casing but the LNBs performance and
specification stays the same. In this situation it is not an acceptable
reason to return goods just because their appearance is different than the
picture on this site.
The LNB casings change far too regularly for us to keep updating the pictures
and the appearance does not affect their performance or the way they mount on the dish.
Satellite & channels are subject to change without notice.
Telephone for latest information. We cannot guarantee to
be able to obtain a particular channel or satellite
as programme providers, circumstances and equipment
specifications may change without notice.
(e,g. Intelsat 602 at 63 degrees east is a difficult
to obtain satellite) Channels may change frequency,
polarity, or satellite. They may even disappear altogether.
Or they may become scrambled.
This is beyond our control and we cannot accept responsibility
if this occurs. TV program changes of this type are not covered
by the guarantee.
The customer should know what channels they are trying to obtain by doing the necessary research
on the program provider websites. Links to these sites are on our Links page."
