I have two dish receiver on ebay I bought real cheap from a yard sale I am selling them becuase they are worth $75 a piece which is good money. Anyway. I have two questions from ebay members. One ask for the dnasp and revison numbers and the other one asks for the number of the bootm corner of the smart card. Should I tell them this or is this info used for bad things.

couple thoughts
-Don't ever say I am sounding like them vip molesters over there
-We're talking about 2 different things here. I have no issues with people "moving" (since you have a fondness of the other site, you'd see that I have argued that point with the vip receiver molester) and hell, I've "moved" numerous times. In the 7 years I had Dish, I don't think my address on file ever matched where I actually lived
I paid my bill each month as do most "movers"
Modifying the card to override the encryption is illegal and is stealing. You aren't paying Dish for anything

The OP would not be stealing. Possibly the person they sell the receiver to might intend to do that, but it's not the OP doing the stealing.
It becomes a personal judgment call whether anyone thinks it is ethical or not for the OP to provide the requested information. One one hand, the OP has no legal responsibility to protect Dish from potential theft. On the other hand, the OP may not wish to give out the information because they think it is wrong. Everybody can judge whether it's wrong or not for themselves. It's a gray area, subject to interpretation.
If find it hypocritical that Iceberg says the OP would be doing the wrong thing by giving out the info, calling the OP a thief basically (or at minimum, "assisting a thief"), but then goes on to say this:
Iceberg, I think what you did was the wrong thing there. But that's my opinion, and evidently not yours. So I wouldn't chastise you about you did. Although I do wonder what would be the purpose of giving false address information to Dish. Maybe Dish would consider such a thing as "theft", but you wouldn't, so then it's OK. Right?
Minor issues. Gray areas. Subject to individual interpretations. Nobody is right, nobody is wrong. If everybody saw every issue in the same way this planet would be a very boring place to live.

If you use it to steal, then you're not paying anything to Dish
never said the OP was a thief so lets not put words in people's mouth's
totally different thing. I PAID for my service. In fact, orignally I had given Dish MORE money (the first time I moved was because my local area didnt have locals on Dish but the neighboring DMA did)

Point taken. I didn't intend to put words in your mouth, but now I see I did. I think you "implied" theft without saying it. So I was wrong for me to say "...calling the OP a thief". I apologize. Poor choice of words. It is of course debatable if my thinking you "implied" theft is even a reasonable thought on my part, but my intent isn't to argue. My mind was trying to present a point, and I freely admit that I might have mis-attributed a thought/concept to you. I'd have to reread this entire thread to see where I felt you implied theft, and I don't have time for that right now (I have to go practice piano now, so I won't bomb at my next lesson like I did this week!)never said the OP was a thief so lets not put words in people's mouth's

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

This is a thread that will keep you apprised of 4K events that will be showing on Dish channel 540. Keep looking here for information.
As of today, 9-27-17, there are no scheduled events posted for the next 2 weeks. That is subject to change on a daily basis.

. can we say over priced garbage!!!I'm thinking of switching to DirecTV and wanted to know what equipment I should be asking for.
I'm wanting wired satellite due to that fact that I live in the sticks and there is no reliable, decent speed internet for streaming available.
What would be the correct equipment for three 4K tvs in the house?

why not just do a rebranding of the two
As they pivot away from using dishes and more toward streaming, the DirecTV brand would make much more sense.why not just do a rebranding of the two

Squirrels have eaten my antenna wire on my home unit that is a car radio running of the 12 volt side of my solar system. I need a new antenna and would like to add something to one of my existing masts. The reason I am looking at this that I am also covered in trees which has not been a problem, but something mast mounted would future proof me. Thanks in advance.

We have the pro-500 and it's a beast pulling in the signal!!! always full bars no matter how much it rains. it's worth every penny
I am a animal lover, but this year I gave up gardening. Even moved it to potted plants on the second story deck last year. Can't tell you how much use my Ruger 10-22 got, but it was a losing battle for me. Never got any food. So now they eat coax instead! 20 acres of dense woods behind me and my stuff tastes better, either veggies or wires!

i might think about running cables through some conduit to prevent the Squirrels from chewing em all to hell

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
