Don't give up So easy!Things like that happen.If the seller's post didn't
mention that it was 'as is," or "faulty" you should complain to Ebay!It
makes Ebay better for everybody by getting the shysters off!IF this was a
recent buy,get your money back!
What's your alternative?Cable TV?Pizza Dish?4DTV is still the best quality
video and audio -are u ready to throw that away?
Why don't you go the
www.satforums.com and buy a used 922 from the sales
forum.That's what I did a year ago(and before that I bought a sidecar on
Ebay -my parents have it now!In fact,everything electronic that I have
bought off of Ebay works -perefectly!You just dealt with a dishonest
seller -which Ebay should be notified about!) and I'm STILL happy!
