I shoped around for a Twinhan 102G and found a fair price on ebay. The seller was Guestfrom, yep, that is his ebay user name. I received the card and it did not work. The seller told me that his ebay auction states that he gives no refunds, or exchanges. He offered to send a second card for $50 to makup for getting a bad card. The most interesting part is when I tried to communicate with the Twinhan company to get it fixed under whatever warranty it had. No such luck, they have no office in the U.S., only Taiwan and China. All contact information is in Taiwan. Email to them has gone unanswered in four days. I am told that I can get the card fixed, but it appears it will take a very long time, and it may involve me sending the card to Taiwan. I won't know until they actually answer my requests for help.
Lesson learned, either buy the card from a reputible dealer that will assit you in getting repairs for the life of the product warranty, or skip it and buy a card with company contact in the U.S. After I get done fighting this guy for not delivering goods as desribed in an auction. I will go find a good deal on a Happauge Nexus-S. Happauge is easy to get in touch with, and they make the best DVB card, although the most expensive too. Know that when I say that Happauge makes the best satellite card, it is based on quality, support and function. Nexus-s beats Twinhan in all three of these areas. Joe
