Captive Works HD 4000

[Ryan Pisani]

Anyone out there interested in picking one of these up? I got one of
these while working on a project for a cable company last year that
was around mythtv.

The things basically brand new, all I had done at the time was put in
a sata drive to install a custom fedora based OS on to it. It never
panned out and as part of my fee I got to keep the hardware. I think
it's a X2 4600 in it, with 512MB of RAM and a DVDRW and some DVB based
capture card in it. It's got a compact flash disk & adapter that
contains the linux pvr OS that was shipped with it. It also has a
remote control and built in IR sensor. It'd probably make a fine
mythtv frontend for someone (or could be used for it's intended
purpose).

If anyone is interested, make me an offer. I think they retail for
about $499, but at this point I just want to clean out my office.

Hello Ryan,
Dennis Handrick here.
Is that video box still available?
If so I'm interested though I'm not able to offer much, hope it's not insulting.
Be well.
Sincerely, Dennis

I know Dennis personally, and know him to be of good moral character
and know first hand that he has advanced interests in Linux and in
video production tools.  I've had many long conversations with Dennis
Handrick at Burlington's Center for Arts Technology and Health
Education (CATHE) in the old Burlington Linux Laboratory.  Dennis'
deep knowledge were exhibited to me in discussions of radio waves,
electronics, video production, construction leave me with a stark
impression of his genius mind.   In my opinion Dennis is a wonderful
human being who would be a worthy investment of this hardware.  The
investment would give Dennis the ability to run the free software on
hardware that's able to perform satisfactorily  to the demanding tasks
of dealing with video.

I wish to thank Dennis for his contributions of helping to get things
in order around the laboratory, and for his patience in helping test
and debug the advanced Linux Terminal Server system and "NoMachine"
software on our little server.  Dennis once contributed $10 towards a
domain name I had envisioned to foster collaboration between Linux
students, Linux mentors and corporations.  Thank You Dennis!

I've known Dennis to run Puppy Linux on incredibly old hardware, and
that he was a worthy student of Linux, asking me intelligent
questions, exhibiting that He over time, had done much study on his own.

In my mind, Dennis would be a tremendous asset to many of the
organizations which are associated through this mailing list.
