Disposing of Old Receiver

[blackcat1]

I recently found two old Dish PVR508 receivers and am wondering if there is any value in them. I am assuming that I should just recycle them. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I should do with them?

Your assumption is good. Recycle...

Pull the (small) HDD and then:

"PULL!"

Most towns have a recycling program for "e-waste"....All electronics. Suggest that route.

Goodwill also accepts electronics for recycling. Usually easy to find a Goodwill dropoff location.

Do they still have anything recorded on them? If so, you could sell them to somebody who would like to watch those shows.

Staples and Best Buy recycle old electronics as well.

Sadly they are now useless, the 501/508 was one of my favorite receivers Dish put out.

i believe i have a old receiver or 2 with trademark properties richard and ginger on them. these episodes got mired in a multi million dollar lawsuit and have never been released on anything. i was a real fan and once visited their office, and had lunch at the crab house with the upside down sign.
