Shipping DTV Receivers in Canada

[solfanboy]

I hope this is the right place to ask this question. I want to ship a DTV Receiver across Canada via Canada Post. Is this a safe and legal thing to do? I don't want to invite trouble and/or have it seized.

Thanks

Hmm,

Well I can tell you up until about 2 weeks ago "A friend" that looks very much like me shipped and received numerous DTV full systems through out Canada, and they were all SAFE. (Package them in brown paper or a cardboard box that doesnt say DTV and avoid that hassle)

The ones that were shipped were in the original boxes, and there were no problems at all.

The legal issue is a different story. Is it illegal to have a DTV receiver? How about the Card? We know that a programmer is illegal, but the rest of the system is questionable. Signal theft is illegal only if you are stealing it... Perhaps I own a DTV system for the FREEVIEW feature... Does that make it illegal? (I dont know)

But safe.. ya I wouldnt worry about it being UNsafe....
(hell most drug smugglers ship via CanPost... its more reliable than hiring one of your pot smoking buddies to drive it there themselves)

Second that! I, um, heard of many units being shipped. there is nothing illegal about owning equipment..Hell, even a programmer is null if there is no flash.
