    Trust Counts... A Note from SatelliteGuys Founder Scott Greczkowski

    You're right for the reasons that brought me here but not for my motives for doing so. If it were just to argue, I wouldn't have contributed anything except trash talk in every thead I can find. You have to admit that I've tried to be constructive. I have to disagree with your reasons...

    I'm honestly over the wording. AAMOF, After I brought it up Scott appologized for not realizing how your post was worded and that was good enough for me. My problem is with the personal attacks. Not just this particular case(not just about me either) but it's on going. This just happened...

    I was trying to be reasonable. I didn't call anyone childish names like some punk eighth grader. I posted my opinion but I guess a personal attack vs. an intelligent response was all you could handle. The line read: "USExclusive Premiere Review: The DirecTV SWM LNB (attached below)." I don't...

    This is an opportunity. Let's hope that the cooperation can begin. :) Mike

    Be careful, a comment that like makes it seem like you guys intended to get the jump on outing the field test. Further, it makes it look like you shouldn't be trusted in future field tests. And, let me be very clear on this, I believe that if you're willing to work within the guidelines you...

    I did know that. It's been discussed about more than once(I've been lurking here for about a year and a member for about 8months) Mike

    Then let me ask you this. If you were running a test program and the testers made an agreement with a company supplying the components being tested. Further, following the agreement is part & parcel to continuing the program. You invite some people from a "competing" group of testers and...

    I agree that on the surface all seems above board. However, when you consider everything one could argue that it may not have been. BTW, do you really think that DirecTV didn't know who Masterdeals was when he began testing? In my previous post I asked you the following...

    I hear ya, I really do. I understand the frustration but if you sidestep the whole field test process what do you expect DirecTV to do? When someone agrees to field test a component, they also agree not to discuss it until DirecTV says so. It's clearly spelled out in the invitation. Do you...

    It's in the first sentence of this post in black & white, no imagination requried. :) "Exclusive Premiere Review: The DirecTV SWM LNB (attached below)." http://www.satelliteguys.us/1369362-post1.html Mike

    Why the heck can't you see the big picture. There has to be some diplomacy involved. Let's say every time DirecTV tells you something but asks you not to give the full story but you decide to say "screw it, I think the people have a right to know". You only have to that once or twice...

    Actually, testers are usually chosen for their ability to articulate the issues. They're picked based on how useful their issues posts are NOT on who's whose buddy. DirecTV doesn't care who you know. They want useful info from their field tests. I'm not saying that's the sole criteria...

    It really is that simple. I've been involved in several field tests. I was also involved in writing/contributing to two first looks. I've seen the drafts prior to DirecTV getting their cut and while there has been editorial changes almost nothing was changed effecting the overall content...
