It's been a while since I've seen a Random Act Of Kindness posted here, so I'm going to do one.
I have a Visionsat PVR receiver that I am going to give away.
Here are the specifics..
I realize that many people these days are suffering from bad economic times. I would like to give away a Visionsat PVR receiver to a home that "needs" a satellite receiver, I don't want to give it away to somebody who already has a bunch of satellite gear and is simply looking to add more receivers to their pile. Please - I am asking that only people who do not currently have a PVR capable receiver to reply. I want the receiver to go to a home where the recipient could not afford to buy one on their own.
In the interest of full disclosure on the receiver: The receiver *has* hackware on it. I've played a bit with trying to clean it off, and quite honestly the hackware has better PVR functionality and options than the factory firmware. The hackware does not 'steal' any signals, so only legitmate FTA signals can be obtained with this unit. If somebody really is offended by the hackware, you can re-flash the unit back to factory firmware. I must also note that for whatever reason, the signal meter seems to act funny. The receiver does a fine job of blind scanning for signals and finding the signals, but I'm guessing that the hackware has somehow messed up the software that displays the signal quality. The tuner DOES tune in signals fine, and I've even used it with a motorized dish.
The receiver also includes the true PVR style remote with the PVR functions on it. (Not all of the Visionsat receivers shipped with this remote)
Do some searches for Visionsat, and I'm sure that you will see some great reviews.
I am willing to pay for the shipping costs via Canada Post / US Postal Service standard service.
In the interest of privacy, I am going to ask that people send me a Private Message if they know of a good home where this receiver would make a nice difference to them. I am certainly not looking to embarass anybody here. Any Private Messages received will be kept confidential.
I will test the receiver one more time before boxing it up to make sure that it still functions fine, because it has been sitting on the shelf for a few months, and I will ship the receiver on the weekend. I already have another piece of equipment that I promised another SatGuys member a while ago, (and he has been waiting patiently) but haven't got to the post office to send it out yet, but I am going to drop off both packages at the post office on Sunday or Monday.
