Well, I don't live out that way, but from what I hear, these are the facts:
- Dish left them in the clear for a while, on purpose
- they were on a spot beam and only receivable by folks in maybe a 200 mile circle around Miami
- this summer, they turned the encryption back on
- the only other non-encrypted channels on Dish, are NASA and Angel One
Now, if you want real FTA, here is a
beginner's list by language and by satellite.
Once you are into it, you'll be wanting more technical info, like TheList, here.
We recommend:
- any FTA receiver with blind scan (ask and we'll give ya a list of brands/models)
- a 36" dish
- a linear LNB called either
Standard or
Universal (but not
Circular )
