    GI-XPEEDLX3 Rubber Feet Move

    Hi Everyone or anyone interested I have just bought a GI-Xpeed LX3 and although I am very happy with the box have had issues with the rubber feet on the underside. The feet move is there someone moving them in the middle of the night. I have moved them back to the position clearly marked but each morning they have moved backwards. Anyone else had this issue.

    Sounds funny I know, but I've seen rubber feet move on many receivers, its the warmth from main board to the adhesive on the feet.

    Some actually fall off once lifted, seen it on Technomate, VU+, GB, all brands.

    Had it happen more on glass shelf's.

    both back rubbers somehow managed to slide off the box i am currently testing even before i got to put it onto the shelf to run a first install. what seems to be a spit an lick glue session to apply the rubber feet at the manufacturing stage seems a little out of place with the rest of the otherwise solid look, build and feel of the box. maybe the stb should come with an extra option to purchase a tube of superglue?

    Just inspected mine, both perfectly in place, sitting on a glass shelf too.

    I use rubber door stops on my old Duo attached with blue tac.
    This helps keep the box cool as well because of the gap between the box & shelf.
