Engadget HD's recession antidote: win a Dish Network DTVPal DVR

This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget HD didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. Today we've got a Dish Network DTVPal DVR up for grabs. The DTVPal DVR is perfect for those who just love free, like in free over-the-air HD, because unlike other DVRs, there is no service fee. Read the rules below (no skimming -- we're omniscient and can tell when you've skimmed) and get commenting! Hooray for free stuff!

Big thanks to Dish Network for providing the cheer!

The rules:

• Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for "fixing" the world economy, that'd be sweet too.
• You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
• If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
• Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.
• Winner will be chosen randomly. The winner will receive one (1) Dish Network DTVPal DVR. Approximate value is $300.
• If you are chosen, you will be notified by email. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.
• Entries can be submitted until July, 22nd, at 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
• Full rules can be found here.

After seeing the article I knew that they'd have to give this out!--mostly because they announced that they would :)

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 22nd 2009 12:10PM]

I don't know anything about fixing the economy, but if I won this, I could install it at my grandparents house so that I no longer receive phone calls where I have to explain "one more time" why they can't record one show and watch another on their analog VCR with a digital converter.
