There's a world of difference between entering a shipping order, "Send one refurbished RBS850 to this address." and "get someone in the warehouse who knows about computers to pull a satellite out of the box - oh, and get out a router, too - hook them up to a computer, update the firmware, then box them back up again, etc. etc." I realize it is Premium Support, but... really?
