Default Warning buying MS product


If they say not to use an exten sion cable, I wouldn't.

I have a Brother laser printer. It will only work a maximum of 6 feet cable.
Extensions of any kind do not work and it states it in their manual.

Yes, that is one of the debugging steps. As mentioned tried that on a
laptop and two desktops. Think that is mostly to guard against a bad
extension cable though as clearly if it's directly connected to the usb
port on a pc it has restricted access to the sky to pick up sats. Using a
known good extension cable hasn't been any different than without in how
reliable the product is.

Now have to remember which of the 1/2 dozen of those is the one came
with the unit as I tried a few during debugging sessions and I have a
feeling they'll use any excuse to avoid any sense of responsibility.

You bought a probably out-of-date version of something at
a discounted price and it didn't go well so you are
blaming someone else?

No, I went into a store and bought a product in it's
original packaging at the
asking price. The included hardware does not work and
neither MS (who "branded" the product) nor the hardware
manufacturer take any reasponsibility.
