C-band a la carte

[wpcj]

Does any one subscribe to a C-band “a la carte”? I cut the cord from cable about a year ago and for the most part I’m very glad I did. But I do miss my syfy and see where I can get it for about $6 per month. What satellite would I have to point my dish at to get it?

Check out the Programming Center at Programming Center | 4DTV Programming they do have SCIFI for $5.99 a month.

Yup has to be DSR-305US. Not any on ebay those are all for shaw. The DSR-305US is very very very hard to find. But you never know the only cable company i know of that used the box was charter.

And to think I got all mind for free.

Thanks guys. That is exactly what I needed to know. Get a GI DSR-920 or DSR-922 and point the dish at 105W-AMC-18. I will keep my eyes out for a receiver.

Skyvision has a 905 for $170 Isnt that the same thing as a 920/922 but no positioner?

 

[Kraven]

The 920/922 are going on E* from 400 to 500$ (too rich for me). I'd love to get my hands on a 410 but these are impossible to find

Cheers, K

Just remember:
Its not HD,
its not 16:9.

Combine the 920/922/905 IRD with a HDD/DVD recorder such as Magnavox MDR513H(if you can find one with 320GB HD) that does upconversion to HDMI to fill the screen.
Here's a simple upconverting DVD recorder:http://www.walmart.com/ip/Toshiba-DR430-DVD-Recorder/16617614#Item+Description

That's still not HD.

 

[brex2001]

That's still not HD.

True, but for those of us that sub through Hits to Home its a way to fill the screen. Didn't say it was HD. Only upconverted to HDMI.
And there are times its fun to record for personal use like the Bond Marathon last month on Encore.

 

[toucan-man]

I feel bad for that service that there is no HD programming available, wish the situation had developed differently. What could have been if...

 

[brex2001]

That B-17E is still flying despite all the flak.
Email enquiries to SRL & Comcast about HD programming from Comcast's lineup of channels. Persistence & perseverance.

How is recording horribly molested versions of the Bond movies "fun" when the entire line has been released on Blu-ray?

A 4:3 standard definition version of Syfy isn't even worth a penny.

Can't image how better Sharktapus looks in HD.
