Recomendations for Satelite finder/portable satelite TV

The listing contradicts itself about (at least??) the battery capacity: the title say "5000mAH" whereas the more detailed description says "3000mAH"!

Anyone spot any other contradictions or "you have got to be joking" statements?

Listings with contradictory, unbelievable or just downright "curious" statements should always approached with suspicion because many of these have been written by people for which "English english" is a 2nd or 3rd language!- Thus it may be wrong simply because they don't know the correct terminology - or because they just copied it from another listing on the same site or elsewhere!

For example, I am currently looking at a tool chest with wheels on eBay and that says that it has 2x shelves (in the lower compartment) but the pictures appear to show only 1 shelf. Therefore I messaged the listee to confirm 2 shelves or only 1 - the reply I got didn't even refer to the shelves and mentioned only the general items that would be in the box if I bought it!

Frankly that listee, and many others, can't even read or write"English english" properly and so could not understand my question and so just copied what info he had on that toolbox! :(

Finally, in cases like some of these, the seller is maybe just writing what HE thinks YOU want to see - and without any real regard to the truth!

yeah but its just the battery capacity in question, does it really matter if its 3000 or 5000mah - we dont even know what it means in terms of its battery life - it could be the difference of the device working on battery for 2 hours v's 3 hours....who knows, who cares.

you only care when you have it and it dies on you.

you're not even giving an objective opinion on the device and what it offers, just picking up on a discrepancy in battery life - it can't be that bad then hey.

thank me later.

If there's one "less than truthful" statement, then how many more are there likely to be - and how many of the latter group are likely to be the "really important ones"?

To think &/or act otherwise is likely to be just being naive!:rolleyes:
