    Totally agree... man, this was one expensive lesson for me. Never have i been soo wrong.. All the hype and as it turns its the worse supported receiver i ever had. Its soo buggy that its funny and promised feature never happened... Oh, i better stop....

    oh man, i fully understand. i reported the problem i had with software and i was told it will be looked into.. well, that was 2 months ago. Well, what can i say, i'm disappointed. Menu system is very hard, makes everything very difficult. Originally i purchased it because it was "PVR Ready", then when i found its not we all heard about it will be fully operation by start of May. Well , we all know now that wasn't correct. And if you ask now about PVR you are lucky to get answer "when its ready will be released". I'm surprised with this attitude and complete lack of respect for customers. Some of the problems i tried to address were met with very hostile responses and suggestions that i don't know what i'm doing with dish, mind you i have been involved in this hobby for last 10 years so i think i know a fair bit
    Enough moaning from me, on positive side i think some of the guys there including Darkman are doing their best with limited support they have from manufacture . It would be all ok if that site owner came clear and said what is the status and it would go a long way if they were able to control some of the hostile members (mods) there.

    Sale of goods acts a wonderful thing u know. as long as u have contacted them and reported the problems to them there is very little they can do as the product is sold as a pvr and thats that me thinks. u would not buy a motor bike with no wheels would you.
