    Refund from Best Buy?

    It's really no different than the Dish and DTV receivers that I see that no longer will work.. Buyer's really just need to know what they are purchasing..I surely wouldn't buy anything I didn't research first

    Miss my Orby...

    So the customer representative told you that the $59 includes the DVR? There use to be a $10 Monthly DVR fee on the hopper duo..

    Miss my Orby...

    I'm sure there will be several people who will be thrilled to pay the $99 month for decent high speed internet.. That will open up the options for streaming TV and then have the choice of not having to pay for high priced Satellite TV..I would be happy with starlink $99 and Philo $20 instead of...

    Miss my Orby...

    I never said Dish was in trouble..I should have said Satellite TV will disappear..With rocket man shooting up all of the satellites for internet services they will pull the people away in the rural areas from paying the high price of satellite TV to paying for satellite internet services...

    Orby Terrestrial Antennas...

    I actually took 2 of the Orby antennas and built a Orby Long Range antenna...I did add a Winegard pre-amp I had laying around.. Surprised that it worked as well as it did.. Put it on my mom's house 35 miles from Columbus and pulled in all the channels very nicely..Most channels in the mid 90's...

    Orby has gone dark!

    Did the customer ask about removing the old dish? Just curious if there is any agreement to remove the Orby equipment since they had this dish/orby deal

    Usage after demise: Hacking receiver's and DVR's firmware for something else?

    Nobody can really say for sure what they can do with the satellite input receiving signal..yrs ago commands were sent to do more than people thought...I would say you'll be fine.I can't see them caring about the OTA.. Now if you do have a DVR you might want to consider unhooking the sat input to...
