A guy from work has an echostar 501 REG ID-011 that he doesn't use any more.(dtv) I went to his house to look at it but his kids lost the card. I let it boot up to the info screen software version-P118DCED-N and boot strap-12EBCED. I've been wanting a pvr thought this might be a good deal. Reciever, no card, regular remote, dish 500, twin lnb $ 150 dollars maybe lower.[/U]
questions
1. is it a good deal
2. how could I get a card how much
3. will I have trouble activating it
4. is echostar as good as jvc or is there a difference
5. 40 gb or 120gb he said it was 120gb
6. upgade to 120gb how could i tell
Any info will be greatly appreciated guys on technical forum came through great on recent upgrade problems!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance, Mike
