WHen you turn it on, if it flashes "P" then that means that something has been changed in the programming. Here's the info on programming it:

Mine flashese P O P but I havnt changed anything...

thats because pop mode is active from the factory.... if you turn off pop it wont flash pop!!

seems to me like x band has been turned off....

all the arrows should point up!! part from h which is ku band and if you want ku ban on it should point down!!!

this is a prime example of a problem that can be expierced on Ebay....did the seller misrepresent his product, saying it worked when it didn't?

I do lots of ebaying...Most the stuff on there is either 1)Stolen 2)Broken 3)reburished 4)replica..But you can find honest people tryin to sell things just be very very careful

Things you have to look at is how long they have been a ebay seller because if they only been selling stuff for like 6 months then it's prolly bc they sell crap and they cancel the account before people complain....

Another thing is their satisfaction.... I never buy from anyone under 99.8% because soon as you go to a lower level seller it's prolly bc they are selling stuff that is one of the 4 i listed above....

In your case I have seen people who try to modify their V1 and they end up screwing up their unit and they sell it saying.. Powers Up and item is sold "AS IS" This means they know something is wrong with it and want nothing to do with it.....
