    WHY all the hack talk

    I have noticed recently that more people are posting questions despite the no-hack-warnings at the top of home page. Even though it's amusing to read these posts and Iceberg's and PSB's responses to them, they remain as annoying as ever. I am wondering if there is a clearer way to show these...

    Where is GolTV

    Could anyone check if they still can get GolTV? It has been a black screen with zero signal quality!! I am afraid it has gone scrambled. I checked my connections etc and all is in place. :confused:

    Dishnetwork 18" dish and FTA Telstar5

    I had dish network in the past but not anymore. The hardware is still there mounted on the roof. Do you know if I can get Telstar5 channels using the 18" dish and LNB by just buying an FTA receiver? I know similar questions were asked, sorry for being redundant. A newbie, you know :D
