Okay, my husband wanted a second PVR receiver for our Dish Network service. They don't make this receiver anymore, so I had to get one on ebay. Here's what the ebay listing said:
Quote:
WE USED THIS UNTIL WE SWITCHED TO BRIGHTHOUSE CABLE.
IT IS READY TO BE ADDED TO YOUR EXISTING SYSTEM OR USED AS A STAND ALONE.
GUARANTEED TO WORK GREAT.
IT STILL SHOWS ALL THE PREVIEW CHANNELS AND THE HELP CHANNEL.
THE ADVANTAGE TO THE 508 RECEIVER IS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN GRANDFATHERED IN AND DO NOT REQUIRE A PHONE LINE TO BE HOOKED UP TO THEM. (THE NEW PVR/DVR SYSTEMS REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE A PHONE LINE HOOKED UP OR YOU ARE CHARGED 5.00 A MONTH, NOT THE CASE WITH THIS ONE)
THIS RECEIVER COMES WITH A PLATNIUM DISHNETWORK REMOTE AND THE YELLOW ACCESS CARD.
PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
YOU CAN CALL DISH NETWORK TO VERIFY THAT THIS RECEIVER IS FREE AND CLEAR
THERE ARE SOME SHOWS THAT ARE ALREADY RECORDED THAT I WILL LEAVE ON THE PVR
HAPPY BIDDING
NO RESERVE
I GUARANTEE THIS RECEIVER HAS NO BALANCE OWED ON IT AND TO WORK. IT IS READY TO BE HOOKED UP, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED EITHER THE RCA CABLES OR THE SUPER VIDEO CABLE AND I WILL SEND IT WITH THE UNIT.

Okay, so it finally came today. My husband opened the box and it smells terrible like cigarette smoke in there. Then he takes out the receiver, its covered in dust. Then he gets out the remote and it has all this grime and dirt stuck around the buttons. It's so gross! We bought another one before this off ebay and everything was fine. This second one be bought works fine, I guess... but there was nothing in the listing about the remote being all covered in crud!
They already left me nice feedback... should I leave them bad feedback for this?
I don't know if this could necessarily be called false advertising or not. I mean, they didn't say in the listing that it was all dirty... but they didn't say it was nice and clean either.
