You get a box without control software and without X2. You have to fill in an mail or fax a form and your invoice - assuming you can push your vendor into cutting an invoice timely, then you have to dig thru a maze of web pages to find a form to set up a web account, you then wait days for an approval so that you can wade thru the web pages again, to put in your information, to get the information you then need to wade thru some more web pages, to generate a key to enable X2 on the box. Then you can fish around for the control software and download that. So the problem is not the box - its the policy.
