Would like to understand the hierarchy here on this forum re Wetek.
Droidelec is a sponsor....so he is from Wetek?
Ned Scott, you are listed here as "Wiki Guy" but when i follow the link posted above re concerns over the HUB i see the last post in the comments section says ned@
WeTek.com. Are you also with Wetek?
I have no interest in all the politics of this but i would like to know who is who when it comes to reading comments posted by the various players.
Then i follow the link and read the thread referenced so as to be informed and then i see Ned Scott with an email address for Wetek, Now this is of itself not a problem, i would just like to know who has a horse in this race as i read comments and follow along, so that i may make an INFORMED decision on where i spend my money, as Droidelec suggests.
I am simply interested in a set top box to play video files. For a long time i was following the RP2/3. Then I started following WRXTASY and his C2 Odroid adventures.I was really set to go with that. Then all the talk of the HUB. So i waited and waited and waited...........and waited some more, and more, then some more again.
Now the unit drops,(at lasssssst) and it has insane shipping prices, nasty comments from Droidelec about go spend your money wherever you like due to what i saw as a legitimate fear that something may not be right with the HUB (and after all it is OUR money being consumed by very expensive shipping costs which cant be refunded if the HUB is indeed faulty and needs to be returned)
Will I be attacked by Wetek forum participators because this is only post 2 here from me on the forum? It can be legitimate you know,....someone posting for the first time to comment on something that concerns them. In my case i was so alarmed by the outrageous shipping prices that it prompted me to register and comment rather then just "lurk" along. I waited Soooooooo long for the HUB then see i will pay 50% of the price of the hardware in shipping.
Then as i read along and follow the HUB progress i see nasty comments to a forum member by a forum sponsor.
I say again, it seems legitimate that the guy who posted the link to the CNX item has a genuine concern.
What say you WETEK ?
Do you expect us to pay outrageous shipping fees that cant be refunded if we have to return our units if they do indeed turn out to be faulty or are you going to reach out to us to assure us in a polite way that things are under control? Or will we have to suffer nasty comments from Wetek associates on this forum if we post our concerns over what may (or may not) turn out to be faulty hardware?
Wetek, please tell me why i should spend my money with you if i have to suffer rude and nasty comments from your associates on this forum if i run into problems with your HUB and post same here.
C2 seems to be a very viable option for my needs, but i would like to give the HUB a go. But i need to feel assured that the company behind it is not arrogant and rude to its users. Who needs that hassle?
For the record i follow WRXTASY on this section of the forum. It appears to me he is a devoted developer around here and has no horse in the race so i feel i can trust his word here. He says the HUB is good so on that basis i will proceed. But if the company comes across to me as rude and arrogant, Droidelec, you are right, i will go spend my money elsewhere if that is how i can expect to be treated by Wetek around here.
