FTA receivers come preprogrammed with the manufacturer's
FTA software that enables you to receive all
of the free to air channels offered by free
to air satellites. We provide customer support
for the preprogrammed manufacturer's software
only. SatManiacs.com & the Manufacture do
not permit refunds on returns. Only exchanges
& repairs are possible. Downloading anything
other than the manufacturers FTA program could
be illegal and will definitely void your warranty.
We do not provide support for program downloads
that may enable you to receive Pay Per View
channels. Receiving PPV channels without paying
for them is illegal and we will not assist you
in acquiring the means to receive them. If your
unit has a genuine defect please e-mail us and
we will respond to you requesting specific information
that will assist us in proceeding with the return/exchange
process.
Customers accept all terms and conditions prior
to purchasing from this site. Please read the
terms and conditions prior to ordering as we
will not be responsible for customers not reading
the conditions before purchase.
Return/Refund Policies
No returns after 10 days from ORDER DATE. 20%
Minimum restocking fee is applicable on all
returns or exchanges.
All satellite dishes purchased through this
site are nonrefundable. We will only replace
defective parts. The reason for this is we only
want to retail "new" product to our
customers and we do not want any opened item
stock. There will be no refunds on satellite
dishes. If the dish is sent back to our warehouse,
it will be considered abandoned property. We
do not accept these items back and will not
pay for return shipping on them being shipped
back. If you request an RMA on a package, the
RMA is only valid for the package equipment
and not the Satellite dishes. Please be advised
that we will not tolerate charge-backs on items
that are not returned to our warehouse. Dishes
will not be accepted back, but this does not
mean that the rest of the package should not
be returned if we have provided an RMA to you.
If you cancel an order before it is shipped,
you will be charged an unrecoverable merchant
fee for the cancellation. Normally this is a
4% nonrefundable credit card fee, plus $5.00
refund transaction fee. This can change based
on customer's original order. These merchant
fees are not refunded to our company by the
credit card processor under your cancellation
and Satmaniacs will not be responsible for these
fees should you change your mind. These fees
are applicable to products that have been placed
as "Prepay Only" or "Backordered"
should you change your mind on the order. You
will see a detailed account of these refund
fees on your refund receipt sent to you by the
credit card processor to your e-mail address.
Should you not receive this receipt you may
submit a request that this information to be
resent.
If there is a problem with your order and we
have attempted to contact you with no response
for 3 or more business days, your order will
be refunded as per our refund policies posted
on this site.

entering an incorrect e-mail address at time
