I've never subscribed but did inquire about it before I got into FTA. The options were pay by the month or subscribe quarterly/yearly and receive a discount (I believe they use 105W). Here are the channels: http://skyvision.com/programming/index.html They said you can use your own dish but I don't know if you can still watch FTA since getting their service requires a Motorola receiver (They advertised the DSR-410 but were out of stock when I contacted them): http://skyvision.com/store/dsr410_2.html I did not check any further. Perhaps someone who has had their service can provide more details.

I would not waste my money on getting a 4DTV at this point. The hardware would be from anywhere from 10 to 17 years old. Not to mention the fact that those feeds on 105W in DCII days are numbered. I don't know if you are aware, or care, but none of those feeds are in high definition either, and there is no DVR capability on any compatible receivers.

SRL/Skyvision programming is for 4DTV only(basically).You need a DSR 920,922,905 or 410,with good ID's to receive these channels.You can still do FTA with a DVBS/S2 as long as you have something to move the dish,920/922,or a separate dish mover if you use a 905/410.I think your wideband LNB will work but I'm not positive.
No contract,pay by month,3,6 or year,and as stated above all channels are SD only.

For roughly 20-30$ a month... one could do a lot worse! If I had a 4DTV receiver, I'd be a sub.

Throw in OTA....you're pretty much set

For the mini-budders.... any of you get the Skyvision signal off 105w?

 

[migold]

It's not hard to get. I received it for over a year using the OFFSET LNBF on my 8 ft prime focus dish with the prime focus LNBF aimed at 99W, and the signal was plenty strong. My avatar is a photo of this setup. I no longer use my 922, but the LNBF is still aimed at 105W for NBC. I would expect to get it on a 6 ft dish, if there were no interfering transponders.

any alternatives to paid programming on c band?

High maintanance, constant vigilance, constant changing, and yes... Absolutely. But not for those that have a life...;>)
Rewards are great and such a fun and fulfilling hobby. However, if like my wife, one only wants ONE REMOTE, and turn on the TV and watch her 5 favorite channels, then no... LOL

Actually with an ASC1 as a positioner you do have a one remote solution. Every receiver I have ever owned gives you the option to program favorite channels.
