It would seem they put in place a new product and a new distributor before this stunt in an effort to maintain the income stream but i'm guessing they didn't expect the backlash from customers.
i would be looking for a refund on the SCT product as it doesn't perform as advertised and buying something else, from another company

I am not missing the point at all. I understand perfectly well both the sequence of events that brought us here and concurrent ramifications of said events.

What some people on here are not understanding is that it is not just a case of cutting off 1 company, that cannot be done fairly. There are dealers that are involved in "RESETGATE" that need to be identified. SCT shut down Xcal1 operations effective immediatley, then extended a period of 90 days to ease the burden on innocent parties....... us and most tuners.

It will take some time for the guilty parties to be discovered, and only throught the co-operation of the fair and straight tuners will this happen. The sooner SCT isolate the bad apples in the basket, the sooner we can enjoy the fruits again.

The only bad thing I can see (and hey, I do not totally agree with it either), is the timefame that has been given for phaseout. I think 3 months is not enough, but once the issue is resolved, I can see it being extended out to 12 or maybe 18 months (with the innocent tuners only)

This phaseout happens in all walks of life........

Lead in petrol,
Analogue TV,
CDMA telephone coverage,
VHS and ughhhh, Beta.....

Need I go on?

All of the above examples require money to be input from the end user to continue some form of service. It's not like SCT have said, "we are pulling out of Australia, effective immediatley" is it?
