Somebody gave me three Direct TV receivers and I was wondering what I can do with them. I don't plan to subscribe and have no interest in hacking but thought they might work as signal splitters once I get FTA into my house. Any ideas? Thanks

Welcome to the forum!


Sorry DirecTV receivers are useless for FTA : (

Very soon you will be able to get FTA receivers VERY cheap. Just yesterday I got a Pansat for $30!!!!!!!!!

Click to expand...

pretty soon people who are using them for illegal activites will be dumping their FTA boxes because there won't be nothing for them to watch

Any ideas how much longer?
