Now that this fiasco is completed, I have decided to advise all why my signature warns everyone not to shop at shop4fta. It all started about 5 months ago when I purchased an S9 radio from them. It did not take too long to get it from California to Michigan because they used priority mail for shipping. Installed the radio and all I would get with power on was nothing. Unit would only display “on.” After I E-mailed them with the problem, it took 5 days for an answer. “We ship quality units and it should work.” Another Email and another four days wait. This time an answer with instructions on loading software they sent. I could not install because I could not even get radio to run. I tried with the RS-232 cable and same problem. Another E-mail to them and another 5 days delay. Again, from them, another file to try. Still have the same problem. Just can not get through their thick skulls this radio is DOA. Another E-mail to them this radio is dead and needs to be replaced. Seven days delay and I E-mailed them as to what was the delay? Three days later I received an E-mail to return the unit for replacement. Two and a half weeks later, I get an E-mail they sent out a new radio. Five days later the “new” radio arrives. It sat at my house about a week before I had time to check it out. I installed the same file and channels I have on my other (E-bay brand) S9 radio. I could get nothing with this unit! After much checking with what was wrong, I found that it has voltage out to the LNB’s but no current. There is just not enough “juice” to power the LNB’s! When I powered the LNB’s with my 920, the S9 worked fine. I E-mailed shop4fta the problem with this radio. Seven days later, they said to return it. Fifteen days later an E-mail from them stating the radio worked fine. They also stated that it was not the radio they sent me, different serial numbers! Oh, for crying out loud, what next from these people? I advised them I do not have a stash of old, dead radios I send back to companies! This WAS what they sent me and it does not work. Nine days later, and THIS BEATS ALL!, they stated if I sent them $25.00 they would fix the radio. A radio THEY said a few days before worked OK!!! I wanted to tell them to Kiss M.A., but just said to return the dead unit they sold me. They wanted postage and I gave it to them. A dead radio I paid for is better than nothing. Five days later the unit arrived. I checked it out and it works if you power the LNB’s from somewhere else.
So with this company full if complete idiots and imbeciles, I thought I should continue to advise ALL that the best thing they could do is: NEVER shop at Shop4FTA!!!
