Yea, it drives me nuts to hear people say its all going IP. That's fine and dandy, but before that happens, hows about making high speed internet available to everyone. I'm still locked at 1.2 mb/s with a 80 gig limit. This won't cut it for streaming.
As for FridgeFTA, I stopped using the site long ago. I still use my Amiko, but they stopped updating firmware for the AmikoHDSE so i stopped visiting the site.
It's a shame some people see FTA going away. I see an opportunity. They have proven that channels can survive on Commercial based income only as there are some low budget channels that are based that way now. So, why don't these companies that are interested in that come together and put all their signals on one satellite. Example 97w KU. Then people can put up one simple KU dish and get all these channels. They are not beholden to cable companies and have full control. Many people ditch cable not because the prefer IP, but because they are trying to save money. $100.oo a month is a lot of money. So, people opt for Netflix etc.
