Re-offer satellite hardware to give away

[Colin McGregor]

To recap, last December 13th I offered 4 Echostar DP301 satellite
receivers and a JVC 7400 satellite receiver for free on this list. The
JVC and three of the Echostars went quickly, easily and painlessly.
The last Echostar was requested by one of the people on this list, but
for two months I've been getting reasons why this person can't come to
my place, meet up at GTALug meetings, offers to take the receiver
downtown (where this person lives) have been ignored, etc. .... I'm
just tired of this. So, I'm re-offering an Echostar DP301 satellite
receiver just take it off my hands in a way that is painless to me.
Below is the summary I wrote in December about the receivers:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Several weeks ago I got several Echostar DP301 satellite receivers.
Before getting them I had done a very quick search on "Echostar DP301"
and "free" thinking these receivers could be used for FTA (Free To
Air) use... Turns out folks with the DP301 talk free they are talking
pirated stuff. I have no issues with the FTA stuff, where the signal
is free with the blessing of the broadcaster, but I do have an issue
with "free" as in pirated, just not a space I am interested in
operating in...

So, anyone on this list want to take one or more (up to four) Echostar
DP301 satellite receivers off my hands? Also, I have one JVC 7400
satellite receiver with the same issues as the Echostar DP301 to get
rid of. I have the boxes, without manuals / remote controls. If you
want to play in pirate space, or are looking for parts to be stripped
for other electronic projects I don't care, I just want these units
gone with as little hassle to myself as possible. I will be at the
GTALug meeting on 14th of Dec. and could bring the boxes there, or I
would be game for other arrangements...

If interested let me know how we could best cross paths.


Colin.

P.S. If anyone has a dish antenna suitable for FTA use (70+ cm) that
they would like to get rid of, let me know as I could be very
interested...
