I almost posted something similar, but decided against, but now that you have said that: I have had no problems with rebates that were through manufacturers, but TigerDirect is now dealing with an outfit called "OnRebate", and "worst" is the kindest thing I have ever heard about them. It is to the point where I am probably going to file formal charges against them with our State AG, those guys border on if not actually cross into the criminal realm. I have had many good dealing with Tiger though, as long as the rebate is not through "OnRebate" I have no problems with them. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
