No shit… I would have thought they encrypt all the pay channels, they just let anyone with a fta receiver tune in? ---

[quote=“Carbonfiberhooded,post:20,topic:36984"”] Joe pays for Dish and has a FTA receiver just to get extra stuff. Thats the same way I would work it. I wouldn’t use it as my only means of TV service. [/quote] And this is why I haven’t bothered getting into it. Back in the PGM emulator days, and even Krypto, I had that as my only TV source and honestly it was more reliable than Adelphia, at least if you had access to a subbed bin like I did. I keep thinking about getting to FTA for a winter hobby but I don’t like the idea of having a bunch more dishes mounted on my house. It’s bad enough with 2, if I start having 4 or 5 my neighbors are going to wonder what the hell I’m up to. 🙂 ---

I have a spare dishnetwork dish laying in the garage. We switched to directv, if anyone wants it they can have it. Dishnetwork made me send back the lnb when I cancelled the service, but I have the dish here. ---

I ordered my sv 8000hd with a 31" dish and a motorized setup. It should be here soon I hope. I will let anyone who is interested how it turns out. ---

Good luck with getting that motor to work past a year’s time. Silicone the shit out of it, if you can. ---
