I have one of the very first A3's to be shipped. Will the EPG be available to it?
And how does one acquire it? Do you tune to a certain channel on a certain satellite for it to download from satellite?
Or does it retrieve it via the internet?
Thanks.

Don't tell me you are going to make De_Ann upgrade her firmware again?
She will be down for months!
If she doesn't need EPG, no need to upgrade...
She may want the EPG. She just got her A3 working again.
I'll give it a go. But I'll be much more careful to follow directions than usual. 
I haven't heard that it's available for the legacy units as of yet, only preloaded on A3's that have been sold recently.
In case you didn't already see it, T134 has red A3's on sale now for $129. His website says they're specially customized. I'm not sure why T134 is substantially undercutting his resellers on price? Maybe they are not as capable as the regular A3's? I don't know.
No, I didn't see that. $129 is considerably cheaper than the price I was looking at. I wonder what the special customization is?
Went and read the description on his site and the customization just seems to be XBMC with SuperRepo, nothing that excites me. The price deal is odd, $129 is $40 or so cheaper than anyone else.

Maybe just nobody's buying the red ones, so trying to move them out ?
I'm very confused by this.
The EPG interests me a lot for my receiver in the living room, but I've read so much on here about incompatibilities between US and European models, and on the EPG only being available on current models in the US. Previously sold A3s don't have it, right?
And this one is advertised as customized for Ireland. It doesn't mention the EPG and I'm unclear on if this would be accept future US firmware upgrades.
Anyone have any idea?

The North American EPG will only be available for units that have been purchased from Amiko Americas resellers. All North American resellers are currently shipping A3s preloaded with NA EPG. I understand that the EPG function will be available very soon for any A3 verified as purchased from an Amiko Americas reseller prior to February 26, 2015.
Buy an A3 from a non-authorized Amiko Americas reseller and it will not be supported with the NA functions and features. http://www.amikoalienusa.com/?page_id=342#axzz3YvOF78X2
Not sure why one would buy from an international seller and pay more plus additional shipping? BTW... the US A3s are the lowest priced units available!

An A3 is an A3 is an A3. Same firmware is shipping right now. Remember this is just like an android smart phone. You can install apps from Google play and customize with downloaded apps. Just like you would do with your phone. Yes any A3 bought from Amiko Americas resellers will be set for US and take any future upgrade, as they all come from the same server.
So, is Fridge FTA an authorized Amiko Americas reseller? They're the one that's selling them for $129 [red only] and like Martyn said, it says the firmware is customized for Ireland.
