    Hack Talk

    With all due respect for you and this forum, I think you are very wrong about much of the above. Sure porn is main reason for stealing from Dish but there are money other reasons as well: money, sports, movies... I just don't understand why you all keep calling them stupid while most of you pay...

    Help with setup

    I did everything exactly like the above and I now can see green signal on 83W. Level is on 93 and quality on 72%. I ran automatic scan and I got 4 scrambled channels: AETV, test, test 2, and test 3. If those 4 channels are from amc 9, can I assume that my dish/motor installation is OK (I...

    Help with setup

    I don't know if I ever had the dish pointing to TS because I never found nimiq2 on 82 or brasilsat on 84. Now I've learned that there is AMC9 on 83 something which should be my home satellite but that satellite is not on the built in satellite list. Is there a way to add new satellite to the...

    Help with setup

    sg2100, coolsat 4000 pro, winegard 76cm. Problem: can't see any satellite but telstar 5. I get 90% level and 77% quality on it. The mast seems to be plumb but I had very hard time pointing to true south and to start from a home satellite which should nimiq2 on 82W or brasilsat on 84W. I am on...

    Coolsat 4000pro question

    What is satellite loop through output actually for? I know you can connect another receiver to it but why would anyone do that? Does it just pass mpeg2 encrypted signal through it or does it actually send already decoded signal to a second receiver?

    Receiver price drop soon??

    ...yet. Nothing is 100% bullet proof. It'll take some time but I'm sure sooner or later it will be hacked. N2 is just a new challenge for many hackers (and FTA receiver makers maybe). Also, when Dish switches to N2, FTA receivers will still not be useless. They will still work with what are...

    How about DVBU-321 LNBF?

    Does it work well? Should I consider another one and why? Any bad/good experiences with it? http://www.galaxy-marketing.com/dvbu-321.htm

    The best place to buy FTA systems?

    Looks like it is more complicated to buy a dish with motor and lnb than receiver. I can't find anywhere winegard dish larger than 30" with lnb and motor. I just see bunch of amateur looking web sites which makes me somewhat itchy about buying stuff from them. Can you all recommend few reliable...

    What powers dish rotors? This question just poped up in my mind. I assume I have to run a power cable to it, right?

    Now I know what's up there but...

    That'be interesting to watch, I like that kind of stuff, unedited news. I guess I'm going FTA but still don't know which receiver to pick. Will Pansat 2700a do good? It seems inexpensive for what it does.

    Now I know what's up there but...

    How about feeds? Are they frequent or just occasional? Do they send just taped material or you can hear conversations too? Is this list accurate: 112 CBS Newspath www Intelsat Americas 6 113 ABC News ABSAT www Intelsat Americas 6 114 Primedia Feed Galaxy 11 115 Bloomberg Feed AMC...

    Now I know what's up there but...

    ...is there anything good to watch in English? I care mostly about educational Discovery-like channels but I'd also like to be informed and to have at least one news-only (unbiased) channel. What do you guys watch most of the time?

    Is a rotor really necessary with mpeg2 FTA (pansat or coolsat) systems? I mean, would having one significantly increase number of channels?
