I had four Dell Digital Audio Receivers (DAR) which are (or should be) the same as the Rio Receiver. Two of them were zapped by a lightning strike and I am having no luck finding replacements of either type.

It seems every place I look just ran out of them a week ago.

Are there any sources left that still has them?

Try:

eBay

And there's a guy selling two dells on

BTW, how'd they get killed by lightning? Were you using hpna or ethernet?

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Lightning struck my house about 6 weeks ago and fried a bunch of stuff. The units were on ethernet but of the three that were active only two got fried.

A lot of stuff was damaged -- garage door opener, electric stove, microwave, cable modem, home broadband router, a TV, and two DARs. And the vast majority of it was on surge protectors.

I had already tried both "used" sellers on yahoo. Neither answered. Good luck.

Can't manage to find any of these.

I have one for sale if your interested. It is the thread marked "priced to go quick"

I honestly don't need another but if you want to let it go for a hundred bucks shipped I'll take it. Tiger direct still has them for 149.00
