    HELP, PLEASE

    Finally I can post that I am a "new" fta member. My ku band is up and running, got it running while n3 was down so I got to see some pretty good stuff, still figuring out my Sonicview 8000 and blind searching for channels, but I am officially an fta fan. Many thanks for all of your help...

    HELP, PLEASE

    I know that traditionally you need a 6 ft dish but I opted to go smaller for my first time. My concern is that I'm not getting any channels at all. All of my searches come up "failed". I am wondering if the twin C lnb is the problem or if there are file "bins" needed for the Sonicview...

    DTV has gone insane-24 month for changing programming???

    Its true with faulty equipment. I had 2 bad receivers and they extended my contract an additional year. I argued with them and ot the extention down to 6 months, the equipment I got from them only lasted 6 months, that's why I was able to get the extension reduced. I didn't realize I had agreed...
