[mythtv-users] PVR-250s on ebay

[Harondel J. Sibble]

What part of Canada are you in? I am in Vancouver and the 250 is readily 
available here.  I've even seen it at Future Shop about a year ago.  I bought 
mine at London Drugs in August when they had it on sale for $180, their 
normal price is $250.  I've seen it around town for about $210, specifically 
Netlink

http://www.netlink.com

Suprisingly, it costs the same retail from Netlink as it would cost me to buy 
it wholesale from my supplier ($207).

I've looked at buying one of the freestyle units, but once you factor in 
exchange rate, shipping, gst and any duties (likely since the card is 
probably made in China), it's almost as cheap to just buy it locally for $210 
and get full warranty, retail box with remote etc. If I could get a freestyle 
for say us$75, then it would be worthwhile to order a freestyle from ebay or 
elsewhere. Otherwise, I'll just save and buy a second 250 once London Drugs 
puts them on sale again or save and get a 350 to replace my TV Wonder.
