How much was shipping for you $100 deal?
well lets see.....I've owned 3 of them (yeah I sold all 3.....for various reasons)
1st one I was part of the original shipment of Solomend (Sathawk)...Shipping was free but paid $169
2nd one I paid $110 and was free shipping
3rd one (S10) I paid for shipping...$11...but the unit was $82 so paid $93 total
I paid alot more for alot less in satellite receiver equipment.
So have I whats your point?
I have worked with PLENTY of s**t receivers out there and have paid more for "less" as you put it
$60 for a 10 transponder, no blind scan, no edit, no motor unit back in 03
$170 for a Pansat 1500....but yeah it had blind scan
plus a bunch of crap in between
couple good ones in the bunch like a Coolsat 5000 (still use it to this day)
If it works pretty much how I want it to thats all I care about.
