New FTA service with 20 english channels

**AcWxRadar** · 01-13-2010 04:58 AM

Being the nosy, investigative skeptic that I am, I sent an email to the supposed consumer or client of this new broadcasting agency, the billiard company.

I will share their response here when (and if) it is received.

Hi guys,
I see that the Freedbs website has changed since I first saw it 2 days ago. It now lists White Springs(Golden Age of Movies) as one of its contract pending channels.
This is very interesting and may or may not lend credibility to the site depending on your view of White Springs

. This may also explain why we have not heard any info from White Springs recently. The site also now contains a short mission statement and a list of hardware that can be used to receive their service. This is getting more tantalizing every day but I like many of you am still skeptical. If this is a hoax I don't understand why anyone would be doing it. Any thoughts?

If they constantly update the website, it is hopeful. But it is still speculation until we see what satellite they will be on and launch date. It would be nice to see a confirmation from White Springs from their own site....

Maybe Charlie has a very very bad sense of humor!

I hope we do not have to read between the lines!

"free D(ish) BS.org"

I might be way off base, but the site almost looks like a "TechFizzle" production...

Looking at their site again, I see a link (where it says 33" dishes) for a FTA online store. Clicking further, they are selling what looks exactly like the old DirecPC Duo elliptical dish from about eight years ago for $59 and they say they are in stock.

Looking around they are selling a ANALOG Ku/C band receiver for $249, and a 12 foot C-band antenna for $1895...the same type you see on E-bay for free or for under $100.

Who would sell a analog receiver for $249, and a C-band dish for $1865, not to mention the (long out of production) DirecDuo dish for $59 (in stock nonetheless!) as well?

Something isn't right about this whole thing.

Davage, OMG lets hope not! Blind

The online store is located in Tennessee, and...not that I was going to buy it...wanted to see what the shipping charges were for the DirecPC Duo dish. Shipping wasn't available.... though they do charge tax even though I live in another state....hmm.
