@Tech&Me
Buddy it was Iomega Screenplay Director..
Guys, finally I heard from the Techincal head of Iomega and told me that as a special case he would provide me their top model i.e Iomega director MX 2 TB which is much better than the older one....and if I'm still not satisfied then money back...
So..I think I should try this one too and then I'll decide what to do...!!
Nice summation, respect man, pure respect to you.Your errors:
1. Going to Lynx.
2. Listening to a distributor/dealer in India about product recommendations.
3. Falling for "word-of-mouth" that the offered device will work for your data feeds.
4. Not researching an expensive product online. Ad-hoc/on-the-fly purchase.
5. Not going back to the shop to return it.
6. Not taking care of the device -- scratches.
What you can do:
1. Put it up for re-sale and honestly tell the capabilities.
2. Keep it.
Nice summation, respect man, pure respect to you.
PS: Adhoc reminds me of software testing, damn that was one boring subject.
@Pompy : that's a fair justification.
Yes u are right. mate.

In my opinion:
1. If anyone doesnot like to buy something from any particular vendor then he should just not buy from him.
2. If you cannot appreciate plz don't criticize any vendor like this.
3. I have observed members in the TDF are just making hay out of nothing with respect to vendors (example: RMA thread) and products (eg: hardware you should not buy thread)
4. I think we need to teach members how to buy products / hardware and follow warranty procedures during RMA.
This...
@OP:
Seriously you gotta learn something from this experience:
- Never Listen to shopkeepers. They are clueless technically and their only skills like in talking people into buying their crap.
- If you hear bad feedback about a shop so many reputed places, why bother to buy from there.
- You don't like a brand, why get convinced by anyone else who knows less than you.
Yes u are right. mate.

Anish sure looked pissed off by your attitude and the way you never told the whole story behind the scene. Sure he shouldn't have gone far beyond to this language but in my opinion as a customer he has full right to argue with you (not necessarily by abusive means), being an elder sure will give you an advantage to strike back with a mannerism lesson but I guess you should have listened to him and should have told him the solution there itself. That would have never reached the situation this far. I'm not saying you are wrong and Anish is right. BOTH OF YOU, AT SOME POINT OF TIME WERE WRONG (with each other).Well Its Your Fault Sure It Is you do not know how to speak with your elders and use language thats filthy and uncivil .But You like to create a viewpoint which make the other fellow like me feel like a criminal .Do You realise what kind of emails you wrote me and what kind of replies i replied to you .Sit down and check them you would possibly understand what kind of language you were using my friend . Is this how to talk to people and your elders " anyways you keep it and feed your kids out of the 8000 bucks i paid you..." .You Expect me to reply to such emails ? .
Life's hard bro, don't expect everyone to be kind with you. Being a dealer you are far more prone to sentences like this by your customers.Is this how to talk to people and your elders " anyways you keep it and feed your kids out of the 8000 bucks i paid you..." .You Expect me to reply to such emails ? .
Just contact the Iomega India Representative about it. They are sure to replace it. Otherwise you have the option for consumer court.
One of my friend bought Yendo on its looks on the sales box. He came home and found that he had made a disaster by buying the device. He complained to "the mobile store" from where he had bought the phone, they asked him to contact the Sony Ericcson service centre regarding his grievances. The representative at the service centre agreed to Flash the firmware and if still he is not satisfied with the phone they will issue a certificate which will enable him to replace the phone with any other phone he wants to buy from the dealer irrespective of the brand.
Now thats called customer support.

Were you even sure that it will play HD files, did you ever use it? Although the package says that it will play but as a dealer you should have atleast confirmed that fact before consulting him that product. Why did you even recommend him that product when you didn't know that it sucked (or did you?).I asked him very specifically that whether it will play Hi def 1080i/p MKV files and he sais.."Kyun nahin karega jeee..sab karega...aap befikar ho ke ise use karo main hoon na.."
I guess you probably would have realized that you recommended the wrong product at that time but still instead of accepting the fact you tried to make the customer look wrong. Now, even those words weren't kind to the customer at all.I immediately called Amarbir back and told him the entire thing and he said "Yaar aap log theek se manual to padhte nahin ho aur complaining start kar dete ho..go through the manual and do the setting accordingly and it will play."
So I once again tried everything but again nothing happened..I called him up again and now he says "Yaar go to the net and update the firmware and it will definitely play.." I asked him that how this could happen but he insisted so I tried that also..I downloaded the latest firmware and installed it...still no luck...
That isn't a proper alternative, why didn't you just ask him to go for another product at that time, replaced with Iomega."why you people think that only 1080 is HD why dont you play 720 HD.."
Can you bother to explain why you never replied back?So i asked him what about the 400+ 1080 titles I've in my collection...then he immediately switched and said "I'm not telling you to convert 1080 to 720..but give me some time and i;ll download 1080 from net and i'll try it personally and will come back to you.." so I waited for the next few days but he never bothered to call back..
If it was possible, then why didn't you do it. I guess you were probably pissed off by his use of language and you had no willingness to replace that product at that time. But at least you could have tried this as a sensible dealer when he even offered you money."But i told your staff clearly that deduct some amount because of its missing plastic cover..and send me asus and i'll deposit the balance amount if any.... "
"I'm sorry but that was meant to hurt you in the first place"
The customer resorted to this kind of words because of your harsh, strict and uncanny attitude. He was sure pissed of by your attitude too. You weren't readily accepting your mistake and blaming the buyer. Don't you think you should have never recommended him a faulty and suckish product at the first place. It is completely the right of the buyer to argue with the dealer but if you stick with that attitude he is sure to resort to filthy language and then you go on to explaining manners instead of trying to make him calm and telling him the SOLUTION at the first place. Although I do agree that he shouldn't have used FILTHY languages. Sentences like above are just the same as the sentences you used with him (as a buyer's viewpoint). Just because you are elder than him (although he should respect you) that doesn't mean you aren't liable to an argument by your customer." anyways you keep it and feed your kids out of the 8000 bucks i paid you..."
I don't expect you to be a newbie customer in the market. You probably weren't forced directly to buy that product. As a customer you probably know that dealers sometimes make false statements so as to lure customers to buy a product, and sometimes even the product's specifications lies. When you already have had a bad experience with Iomega, why did you go with it again? You reasoned between products for many days and still went for Iomega, at the same time knowing the fact about how the whole market works.Now when i came back home and transferred few movies on it including 720p MKV, MP4, ISO, 1080i/p MKV. Now when i connected it to my TV I found that the interface was so sluggish that it took nearly 2-3 minutes to show the content of the HDD. Then I played the 720 p and it played it within 20-30 seconds of pressing the play button...similarly it played mp4 and ISO without much trouble...But when I tried playing 1080p content it simply displayed the message that "THE CONTENT YOU ARE REQUESTING IS NOT SUPPORTED" type of thing..
I tried all the settings but to no avail..
You should have probably realized that you have been fooled by then. Why not use your common sense and immediately go for another product at the exact moment."why you people think that only 1080 is HD why dont you play 720 HD.."
"I'm sorry but that was meant to hurt you in the first place"
That wasn't sensible and civil at all when you were willing for a replacement." anyways you keep it and feed your kids out of the 8000 bucks i paid you..."
