[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1182046, member: 74879"] Indeed, I now remember your other posting about this device. So in essence, there is a technical (and affordable) solution, which for ~$45 comes as a complete kit without the need for soldering and/or programming. To said $45 one would need to add taxes and shipping costs. While the latter can be shared if ordering a larger number (I would volunteer to organize it), the other cost elements are unavoidable: [FONT=Courier New]Device € 25,-- VAT € 4,75 Import € 1,20 Shipping inbound € 2,-- [FONT=Arial](for ca. 10 pc)[/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Courier New]Shipping outbound € 3,50 [/FONT][FONT=Arial](per pc.)[/FONT] [FONT=Courier New]--------------------------- TOTAL € 36,-- [/FONT] These costs are rather on the high side as VAT/import costs are not necessarily applying. However, if one orders a large number of receivers, customs will most likely kick in and apply duties. Otherwise one has to pay inbound shipping costs of ca. 14 €, hence the orer of magnitude is probably correct. Myscha, how would you rate the cost of your solution in comparison to this estimated number? [/QUOTE]
