Why would the site say that older Dish Network receivers would be able to receive these FTA channels?
This wording may have been removed. They may have meant fta stbs when they said Dish receivers. If fta means hacking on 90% of the internet then its not too far of a stretch to say that a coolsat (or other formerly hackable) box is an old dish network receiver.
I'm not trying to start an argument on the accuracy of that, just saying that may be what they meant, and have since been set straight.
If I am interpreting their channel lineup correctly they currently only have guaranteed sources for 4 channels so far, Hillbilly, Builders, Billiards, and DBS. Most of the others appear to be a request for content of a certain type. In other words the Cowboy channel doesn't exist but they would like someone who owns a Western channel to contact them and let them broadcast it.
These requested genres on the proposed lineup remind me of the streaming tv channels offered in most of your Free Satellite to Pc packages. I believe the source for those is americafree.tv At first I thought someone was just going to be broadcasting these streaming channels via satellite.
Their web site seems to almost be responding to our posts in a knee-jerk reaction mode.
Yup. Either that or they are responding to Bill and other people's emails. If they are watching this thread I'd like them to step up and say hello.
the "___" is messing with us!
The LAST thing Satelliteguys needs is another 25 page thread on this subject. Please let this idea die quickly and quietly.
