Sad to say that I now have had issues with two cards that I ordered on Ebay. Two different sellers but both broken. Is it just me or are you guys having the same problems. I have now ordered a third card. from the beginning I thought that hey, 24 bucks is nothing but multiplied with three it is now something. What im trying to say here is (and maybe this is connected to the "where can i buy crystal hd cards") but I want to make sure that my order goes to a reliable company so I know that my card i functional when it reach me. So first of all the quality issue, and second, where can I buy cards that are ok.

I've mentioned this before and I'll mention it again.
Old layout CrystalHD cards found on ebay are a) pulls from existing systems or b) they fell off the truck leaving the production plant. These "old layout" cards were never offered for sale by themselves and were sold always bundled with some system.
New layout CrystalHD cards found at LogicSupply are new and "blessed" by Broadcom for individual sales. I've never seen a new layout card sold on ebay even though many ebay sites have pictures of something that looks like a new layout card.
From the feed back and downloads that I have seem, most ebay cards are good but some seem to have a problem. These could be from a production lot marked defective, who knows. As always with any ebay purchase, it's buyer beware and you should make sure the seller will cover defective items.
