Is there an fta receiver box that also streams netflix?

I installed dishpointer.

I have an iphone. Is there an app or apps that you use to check your line of sight?

The visionsat is a nice rig but doesn't do ac3, ota, or hd. I started out some years ago with a traxis and the visionsat was a nice upgrade. The sonicview is a nice upgrade from the visionsat. I know its not real popular on this forum but it is a nice box. I'll take a look at the switch faq...

I haven't done anything with my satellite gear in the last few years. We bought our first house a year ago and now that I am not renting I have more flexibility to put up as many free dishes as I can find. I understand that there are better boxes out there now but I have a sonicview 8000hd...

I'm curious if there are any people currently enjoying this hobby, or interested in it, near me in Southern Maine?

Mike, did you steal my joke, and then call me a moron for making it in the first place? I hope I misunderstood your post and that wasn't aimed at me. It should have been obvious from the start to someone of average intelligence I was kidding about the pools being uplink dishes. If it wasn't...

I see a fair amount of evidence pointing to the fact that this is not a hoax or a scam. I believe the guys putting this together intend or intended to do exactly what they said but are learning as they go and making some pretty major mistakes along the way. Anyone who has ever started a...

You guys aren't familiar with the inflatable satellite uplink dishes and noodle lnbfs available at walmart? It is cutting edge technology. There have been so many people trying to discredit this project. I looked up the address this summer and have been waiting to see if any of these fellows...

Anyone other than me do a google maps search on the address for freedbs, llc when the business license was filed this summer? There are numerous large, circular, blue uplink dishes clearly visible next to most of the buildings surrounding this address. Most have ladders leading into them for...

They tend to blow a couple capacitors. If they have ever had certain firmware versions on them then they are subject to a channel change error which is allegedly caused by an ecm from dish network which effectively disables the sonicview until you are able to fix this, if you are able to fix...

A vote to stop ragging on Rick is a vote to kill cute little baby feeds? You've had your say. You've made your point. I don't disagree. The post here that was a quote of what was posted there was well written and that is all that needed to be said about the subject ... but that isn't...

Scott and Iceberg: I am more and more ashamed to be a member of this site. I am seeing more hostility and personal attacks all the time. Rick, Freedbs, that mountain dude, and techfizzle come to mind. I am not defending any of those peoples' actions but I'm sick of reading hostile personal...

Satellite Guys has been an invaluable resource for me and I've really enjoyed the fta hobby. When I try to encourage others to join in there is usually a long discussion because they think that fta must be piracy. I explain the difference and what is legal. The full time channels usually...

I was wrong. Sorry feedman.

I am really skeptical of the first post in this thread. I've seen the other thread on this topic and understand it is a heated issue for a lot of people. This poster has one post at the moment and this is it. The whole story seems a little too convenient and complete. I'm guessing that this...

Welcome to satellite guys Jeff. If you ever need people to test equipment in different real world applications, I'm sure you could find a few volunteers here.

I don't see this as any threat or competition to any other providers. I've tried to sell people on the idea of watching fta satellite tv for free. I've tried to sell people on the idea of internet streaming tv for free. It always comes down to one or two news channels or sports channels that...

Three different members here post the same information and he doesn't believe it. What is really funny is I did a google search about this to see if Dish mentioned this file in their lawsuit. Apparently there is a mention of it in the lawsuit but I could only find a link to that document on...

I like Mike Kohl's channel lists. If he is even indirectly involved with freedbs.org then that adds to their credibility. I'd love to have some names we know and trust speak up about this venture.

I found the thread where I talked about this back then: http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air-fta-discussion/175052-sonicview-8000hd-firmware-cleaner.html Post #15 by 1captain, a member with about 350 posts:

The site I downloaded the firmware from was: Sonicview USA - Support Post 68 from the review thread: I bought a refurbished sonicview, I think it was in may of 2009, and wanted be sure there was no hackware on it. I went to the sonicview site and downloaded the factory firmware. I...

Back in May of 2009 ver 443 was offered on the sonicview site as factory firmware. I downloaded it from there myself back then. Much to my surprise it was fully functional hackware for nagra 2. When nagra 3 came out many people decided to use 443 because it was better firmware and if nagra 2...

That sounds good to me. I think everyone has said what they want to say and then repeated it four or five times already. Close it. If someone tries to start a new thread, crush it and refer them to this closed one. If someone comes up with some information that you think is worth sharing...
