I wouldn't worry about it.
When someone has lawyers sending out letters, and i bought some 2nd hand gear that may or may not be related to it, and then somone says " dont' worry about it".. It just reinforces that i do need to be concerned.

The lawyers told you not to worry about it. That wasn't a suggestion.
Do we really need to turn this into yet another 'keysight sent letters out' topic? I think it would be better to keep this on-topic regarding the WAVE event - the people hosting WAVE probably don't know, can't know and can't comment on anything regarding the letters, so no need harassing them about it.
What do you fill in company, when you doesn't work? And how high are the chances to win? I bet less than 0.1%
But there will always be the chance of winning:)
Whenever I fill out forms that insist on a company name, I put "Independent Designer". I did that for my Maxim freebie and to get into Electronix.
You can honestly put in whatever you'd like, but if you work for a company putting that name would be nice.
We never reveal the odds/# of entries, but my answer tends to be "good enough to make it worth the time, but not so good that it'll hurt your odds if you have all your friends & coworkers enter.
WOW!
Silence since 8 days till now? Only 5 hours (assuming californian time zone is valid) before the start of the probably biggest sweepstake regarding testgear. Is the "Wave XXXX" really gone so much normal and usual?
I have somehow expected a little more excitement.
Just wondering...
Anyhow: First things first.
I would like to thanking Keysight for giving us the opportunity to win such testgear. (Additional: In such an unpresidented amount. No other manufacturer of testgear does this!)
Right now there is for me only one thing left to do:
I wish us all a fair and honest sweepstake and good luck
for all eligible participiants (my rivals
)!
Greetings
Wow, It starts today.
btw, how to participate in the daily event? I have already registered and revisiting the event page is asking to register again
Edit:
From FAQ:
Q. How often can I enter?
A. Once per day during the event period, March 1 – 15.
Q. What time does the “day” reset, so I can enter again for the following day?
A. 12:00 AM, Pacific Time Zone (UTC-8)
Q. Do I have to enter every day to be eligible for that day’s drawing?
A. No, all valid entries for the duration of the entry period are included in each day’s drawing.
Q. I think I accidentally entered twice in one day! Am I disqualified?
A. We screen all winners after drawing their names to make sure they were following the rules. We will be reasonable and give people the benefit of the doubt (at our discretion).
Maybe your cookie wasn't preserved. Just enter again.
The live kickoff and drawing today was supposed to start at 9 am (I assume Pacific Standard Time since the contest rules say the day ends based on PST), but no show so far. Maybe they decided to broadcast live from Hawaii at 9 am, instead.
New stream URL:
Thanks @bitseeker for the new stream URL. Everything was working great until 10m before the stream was supposed to start
Glad to be able to help out. Sorry to hear that the live stream didn't get relocated to Hawaii. That would've been nice.
Will there be a test to impress video contest this year?
If not, no worries

That's how that works. It's the rules.

Maybe not a rule. Much more probably a law, called:

Murphy´s Law <<<<<
It gets you
every time! Welcome to the story of my life...

A law is just a rule with a top hat.

We're not doing one this year, but a little birdie told me that one of the YouTubers might be giving out some to folks that need them
.
It's honestly a LOT of work to do on our end, and we just didn't have the time to make it happen this year.
Awesome season opening video, nice folks on the Keysight team!
Yeah, the panel segment was cool.
keysight, i'm really suprized that you are still using Youtube as a platform while they continue to to let it be used by people who are grooming children for sex.
Hundreds of big corporations have pulled their channels.

This is utterly ridiculous - believing that Youtube "lets bad actors groom children for sex" does not hold water. This is bad for their business as advertisers pull their campaigns every time such things happen.
Since you are at it, also shame Dave, Shahriar, Mehdi, Alan Wolke, Mike Harrison, Martin Lorton and so many others that share their knowledge through the same platform.

It's these ridiculous overreactions which have lead to the adpocalypse and subsequent decrease of Youtube video quality. It's apparently better for Youtube to heavy handedly overreact, rather than to surgically remove the actual problem. It's all about that show of force! Preventing child abuse and not overreacting and destroying many other things can go together.
It was nice to see the human side of the developers, for the panel segment in the video.
Contrast that with to trying to submit a product S/W bug to Keysight. I find it impossible and gave up.
The Keysight website is all about service, warranty, licensing etc.
I've never recovered from seeing a blank (no trace) on a $28K InfiniiVision while the lowly Tektronix had no issues what so ever showing the waveform. Then adding insult to injury was trying to write up the bug and submit it to Keysight
@floobydust - sorry you had that trouble! Did you give our support center a call? That's where a lot of our user bug reports come from, and they're super helpful.
@salvagedcircuitry - I remember watching your entry! I thought it was put together quite well
. Speaking from personal experience, it's always very hard to watch old videos of yourself.
