    Newbies Go C-Band

    I don't think you are dead in the water with the DSR-410. I first got into FTA by accidentally bumping into the Skyvision web site. Anyhow they have this deal: DSR-410 Digital Programming ... On a side note about the DSR-410... we did away with our digital services in a small town when HITS...

    cable headend question

    Our hits2home package was $49.99/mo. Well I can't say was because they still have customers on it. They just aren't taking orders anymore. Our headend has been mostly digital for quite a long time. As a matter of factly we take those digital signals and send them out analog... all 56...
