[Dead] Possible free Moviebeam equipment
Moviebeam allows you to rent movies from home. Price is between 1.99 to 4.99 per movie. Website is http://www.moviebeam.com
Use coupon code F76LB and it should be free. Service areas are limited at this time though. The unit has a 160 gig hard drive in it.

There are utilities out there to unlock the hard drive. I'm hoping for the some mods to it so it can just became a hard drive based video player.

Looks like someone ripped my post on fatwallet as well. So if you are interested in one I would order it. It is free hard to pass up.

According to the customer agreement when you sign up they have the right to charge your credit card on file for the equipment if they have a reason also they make there money off subscriptions just like other subscription services- so if the box is not detected with a phone line or acceptable signal I think they will get kind of suspicious and they have the right to charge for a content refresh fee of $39 to resend the movies to your HDD.- The customer agreement also mentions about the tampering of the equipment among other stipulations.

"Additional fees and charges may also be charged as detailed below."

Just a hunch

Got an email from Moviebeam, saying that the code was only for sweepstakes winners, and I was not on the winners list. So, no Moviebeam for me.
Still, with their business model, and Disney's backing, this unit should be at fire sale prices within another year...
