We have an old Gateway PVR (refurb) and one portal, both rented at $0 on our Shaw bill, that we we are done with.

Checking the current situation on Shaw's site, looks like it's still mail back for equipment, no in-store returns since the start of the pandemic. This equipment is quite outdated, and it doesn't appear in the list of returnable Shaw equipment here: https://support.shaw.ca/t5/billing-account-articles/how-to-return-shaw-equipment/ta-p/6233#content-s...

Nevertheless in a quick chat that got cut off, I was advised to return the Gateway PVR, and recycle the portal. But throw  the identical remotes for both in the PVR box when returning it. Does that sound reasonable? Is is safe to follow that advice and recycle the portal instead of returning it?

Anything else I need to look for to return with the Gateway PVR besides the unit itself, the power cord, and the remote (or both remotes in this case)? I don't remember what cables it came with - are any required to be returned with it? There is also a brief Shaw Gateway User Manual.
