Directv Multiswitches
Had previously queried Zinwell about their 6x16 multiswitch. Had read either here or another forum that the 6x8 Zinwell was approved by Directv but not the 6x16. At that time, Zinwell said that it wouldn't be ready until some time in mid-July and cost would be $190. Received an email yesterday from them asking if I was still interested in the 6x16; emailed them back saying "yes", asking cost and availability, and if it had been approved by Directv. Received the following info:
"Actually the item came in last week, and now still have 2 units left in stock. There are more coming next Thursday, Aug 24,2006. The price is $190 for each plus shipping and handling. Basically, the WB616 is the extention of WB66, the main difference is WB616 comes with one AC/DC power module and one F-F adapter. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us."
Went online this morning to Zinwell - the WB68 is listed (and approved by Directv) but the WB616 was not. Not quite sure what the do but the price is right (for a 81yr old retiree) as compared to the prices for Spaun products.
Any suggestions?
