Selling my MediaMVP w/optical output on Ebay

[piipco]

Hopefully this is okay to post here, if not, please delete this thread.

I'm selling my MediaMVP on ebay. I added an TOSLINK (not S/PDIF!) Optical Audio Output on it, so if you're looking to get an MVP and mod it, you can save yourself some time.

Included in the auction is the MediaMVP, original power supply, original install CD, stand, remote, and the original box. It's in great condition and I just fired it up and tested it with the original Hauppauge software and it's fully working, including the optical audio out.

See the auction details here:

If you have questions, you can post here, or contact me via my auction listing.

Auction ends Sunday 10/7!

Thanks!

Rick

Reason for selling?

Reason for selling?

I used this extensively when I first got it a couple of years ago, mostly for playing mp3's but also for playing some TV shows I downloaded, all with the original Hauppauge software.

About a year ago I was given a broken XBOX, hacked it, and installed Xbox Media Center. At that point I pulled the MVP out of service. I'm trying to get rid of some unused electronics, so I pulled it out and tested it before listing it on ebay.

...I added an S/PDIF Optical Audio Output on it...

Can you point me to instructions on how to do this?

Thanks.

Hope yours sells!!

Sure, this is what I used as a reference:

I'm pretty experienced with soldering, I've modded a psone, xbox, and a game boy advance, and this was the most difficult mod I've done. The points are very small, not very accessible and unless you're super experienced, can be difficult.

That's my experience though.



OOPS! In my original post, I put S/PDIF. It should've read TOSLINK!

Rick will you take $30 bucks for this right now? Why is your shipping so high at $15.50 though.. Most charge $9 to $12...

Please make a bid, I'm not dealing outside ebay and I'm not ending the auction early. It's less than $30 right now, maybe you can get it for less?

I'm mailing USPS priority and the actual cost of shipping is $11 and change. The rest is for packing materials, gas to the post office, etc.

Thanks!
