It is a pain to live in the PC FTA world with a mac, but it can be done with virtual pc. I had a CS5K for a year (door stop now) and just switched to CNX Duo with a thumb stick. A great unit. No hauling the stb to the mac, just load directly to the 64 mb stick, without even using the virtual pc...

WOW !!!! That Satellite Aiming Calculator is really cool and in my bookmarks now. Thanks

I just called Dish Network after 9 years and told 'em to stick it....nothing but crap and commercials for lots of $. I know I will not get that programing on FTA, but it sounds interesting, I'll take what I get and probably read more books. I've got a Coolsat 5000, Fortec Star dish, and a...

Hi, I'm tired of Dish Network programing and prices. FTA seems real interesting. I know nothing but am thinking of the Coolsat 5000 (mototized). Do I need a computer to make it work well ? Will it work with my MAC, if so ? Thanks in advance for any info.
