I came, I saw, I dongled.

FedEx rolled up Saturday and dongled me. I feel so... so... complete!

Got my cables and I'm happy.

Thanks Woot!

**Shipping Update**

BOON DONGLES have completely shipped via SmartPost. All tracking information will be emailed by this afternoon to members who purchased this item and requested the dongle. Thanks for your patience on these dongles, they are on the way!

Wait, I thought you were shipping them to everyone??? I didn't get an email! How do I request my dongle!?

How come every channel that comes in using this new DONGLE shows a screen crawl that says, "Welcome imperialist American dog"?

To confirm, I also did not get the dongle email, but I requested a one via email and received it Saturday. Thanks woot!!!

No e-mail, no tracking info, no dongle. Is this one of those woot-crashes like the oh-wait-we-can't-ship-it-to-you Lenovo IdeaCentre?

What a crew.

Ah, found the tracking number in the account/purchase info. Thanks for that. The e-mail notification would have been nice, but it's not woot's first time saying one thing and doing another.

For what it's worth, I didn't get tracking info, BUT I did indeed receive my dongles today, so I'm completely happy.

I am having trouble getting my tv tuner to work with windows 7 64 bit. Anyone else having problems

Oh, wonderful. Estimated delivery went from the 26th to March 1st. Fedex, no matter what you say, it does not take 6 days to get from Texas to Atlanta and then another 3 to South Carolina, but somehow you make it possible.

I didn't receive one either. Nothing in my spam folder and I have anything from woot whitelisted anyways.

At last My dongle is dangeling!

Thanks!

Fyi, I receive the emails about 50% of the time. In this case, no email. (Checked the spam folder as well.)

However it always gives me the relevant info in the account history. Looks like I'll be getting mine tomorrow :D.

no email either, but I got the dongle in the mail yesterday. Thanks guys!

If you have received your dongle, do we get the breakout box or the breakout cable?

TheCanadianBeast wrote:If you have received your dongle, do we get the breakout box or the breakout cable?

cable.
I got mine, my dad didn't get his yet hehe.

Got my dongle today, no email, but nice surprise.

Thanks WOOT from making it right by me, and at a helluva deal to boot.

Just glad I'm the patient type, some of these guys are wound a little too tight ;)


THANKS AGAIN!@!!!!!!

Steve

I got nothing...no email no tracking number in acct. info...and I requested a dongle..must I go through life without a dongle? Ho do I explain this to my wife??

no email - surprise package in the mail! thanks woot =]

And now it got pushed back to the 2nd. waffles? they're fine, FEDEX.

I just got dongled today too! Thank you woot!

EDIT: Too bad I don't (yet) have a desktop PC to put my tuner card into (my Pentium II box doesn't count :-D).

I got my dongle today in the mail

So for those people playing consoles through their computer, I'm experiencing a delay that makes it impossible to play on the computer.

Was there some sort of work around for this or updated drivers? Unfortunately I have XP Pro x64 and don't see any drivers available on the website for me, so I'm not sure how to go about this.

I never received the initial dongle email, but followed up with customer service and was told I was added to the list. I ordered 2 cards and requested 2 dongles.

I haven't received any dongles, nor an email indicating shipping and no tracking number is showing in my account. What gives?

Below is what my tracking info states ....

What the hell is in WV and why is my dongle there and not NJ? At what point will Woot or Fed Ex figure out that this package is lost or misdirected?

Anyone, Anyone ... Buella? Buella?

First Charlie Brown .... now Knock, Knock jokes??? I may never get my dongle, but at least I'll be entertained while I wait!

I'm beginning to find that I agree. D-O-N-G-L-E. It kinda rolls off the tongue. And you can include it in everyday language too .... like, "I'm getting tired of waiting for this thing to arrive. This is getting re-dongle-ous!"

Not to be a whiner here, but after reading several of these later posts here towards the end, I'm starting to get paranoid. Did I forget something ..... oh no, wait. It was you! Where is my dongle (in a nice and non-accusatory tone)? just asking

No email, no shipping info, no dongle in sight. I'm beginning to wonder if there even IS such thing as a dongle.

Please confirm the status/update.

I didn't ever get a dongle and don't remember getting an email about it so I just sent a request to service@woot.com like one of the woot people put in a post earlier.

Also I would mention I just found new W7 drivers for the 650PCI on the AMD/ATI site dated Feb 17th.

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/tvtuner_win7.aspx?type=2.5&product=2.5.1.3.2.3.2&lang=us&rev=10.2&ostype=Windows 7 - 64-Bit Edition

I edited this post but for some reason it created a new one so thats why it double posted.

add me to the list of those who never received an e-mail.

Account page shows a tracking number which shows the package pushed out the door on Feb. 18 and stuck in Edison, NJ since Feb. 23. Maybe it's buried underneath a backlog accumulated by last weeks storm. It might/might not end up in my grubby little hands this week. Everything about this sale has been cursed. There's just no way to know.

Let's see - ordered on 12/10/09, order still not completed on 03/01/10. Is this any way to run a business?

Email their Woot Member Services at service@woot.com

I emailed them last night and today I got an email that it was ordered and would be shipped very soon, can't beat the support.

Thanks Tye

I'm not so sure that's the driver for either of these cards. I just checked for both the 650 and 600, and I don't see any updated Win7 drivers.

Funny thing is, you actually believe you're all set now that customer service said so.....

Perhaps you have not read the last 150 messages. Our Dongles are becoming the subject of a congressional scandal - a.k.a. Donglegate.

Mr. Woot, when did you learn about the dongle and what did you do once you learned about it?

Dongle, what Dongle? Nobody ever got a dongle; nor did we ever promise to send anyone a dongle. I challenge you to show us a single dongle with a Woot fingerprint on it.

I submit congressional exhibit 1, "The" Dongle

Ohhhhhhhhhhh. Thaaaaaaaaaat Dongle. We gave them all to Fed Ex, its all their fault. Blame Fed Ex ........ Woot Off!!!!! Quick, buy more stuff from us, you might get a Bag of Carp with a dongle in it!

agingdragqueen wrote:It looks like yours already delivered, I'm going to PM you the tracking.

You are correct, the item is supposed to arrive today .... I assume it will be at my home when I arrive. Unfortunately this means I can no longer complain about my Dongle .... I shall now leave Dongle complaints to my wife.

Thanks for the Dongle, Popeye.

agingdragqueen wrote:Can I assume that you have not gotten a dongle? I do not show that you have written into us, but from the tracking- it appears that your dongle was lost in transit. I'll put in another order for you and you'll get tracking when that ships out.

Though I loath the addition of -"gate" to a word when there is a conspiracy assumed, and though I enjoy the term "donglegate" regardless, you really could have just written in to see what was up.

I could have written, but it was more fun continuing the saga. I figured Fed Ex would eventually realize WV is not near NJ and someone would redirect the box .... alas, it was done today and I shall soon be the proud owner of a blue dongle. It is blue, isn't it???????
