So, after a two week wait for new receivers from a chinese vendor on ebay, who assured me they were sending 5.3 silver label units (as pictured in their listing) I received gold label receivers! The vendor apologized and offered a 20% discount. I have no need for their discount!
Looks like I'm in the market for at least one 5.3 silver label receiver, again! Anyone want to swap for a brand new gold label receiver???
