Greggor I thought there were program brokers in the Carribean for that? I know Dish will do Puerto Rico with no issues
If your cable company is receiving copyrighted programming (whether or not it is encrypted at the source) and re-transmitting it without authorization, that's getting into a whole other level of legal trouble.
If one of us were to re-transmit, say, an RTN channel from G-10R, and offer it in a subscription package, that is most definitely criminal copyright infringement. While it is OK for us to view that channel in the privacy of our own home, re-distributing it is strictly taboo.
That was the case even before the DMCA...

wescopc,
You may not be aware, but I'm on a very limited internet connection, I have to download/save the Post Page, read it offline, write a reply in .doc on my Computer, then the next day, paste/post that reply. So, there's a profound LAG in my replies.
As I said yesterday, if you don't ask, you don't know, but I cautiously disagree with you, concerning the "competition" issue, you mentioned in your post.
My experience with these guys, is, with amazement. I see "them" posting in the THOUSANDS of replies. Somehow, I just don't think they have time to laugh, given the preponderance of information, that's put out through their apparent extensive experience, and monumental patience, with guys like me, anyway!
I find this website to be a (young) Star, in a Galaxy of a LOT of crap! I appreciate every single word, lent to me in good faith, them trying to keep me out of trouble, and persevering with my plight, to get my system running.
Please don't think I'm bitching at you, I just think that it's real easy to overlook the honest approach to FTA, which is often abused by "others". Though I haven't read all the post you may be forming your opinion from, I for one, support, and I guess defend the Moderators, but, I'm glad you said, what you said. Actually, it only supports the "straight forward" approach I find here on this site.
I guess it gives guys like you and me, an opportunity to present opposing views.
Never the less, I respect yours.
I believe that this Site could go out of existence very quickly, IF there wasn't very strict compliance against hacking, and I definitely would not want that to happen.
icstephen,
Anyone who calls somebodies new Dish a "dickfer", should be flamed !

Thanks for your thoughts. If you go to this thread:

Perhaps you can see how someone may actually be new and not understand that what he is doing is illegal. Now I am suspicious when I read this post, but I am not convinced that he knows he is doing wrong.
I too very much appreciate the no hacking stance of this site.
I have a dish pointed at 61.5 for Sky Angel (with a lifetime sub)
And a 36" FTA dish.
IF I were new to this site and were to ask a question in such a way about my dish(es) setup that someone thought I was hacking and gave me the 30 second ban it would hurt a lot.
The mods do a great job answering questions and my hat is off to them for their labor of love for all of us that FTA.
So, if I ask a really far out question, please cut me some slack. I want to be law abiding FTAer, if I say something that sounds as if I am not, please be gentle!

no problem guys. Once you have a couple posts under your belt and ask something really far out, we're usually pretty cool and ask about it
You have to remember some of these "1 post wonders" we PM them and they tell us what they are doing in the PM
In most of the threads we ask "what are you trying to pick up"
It is easy to over the look the 3 (at least) warnings that are on this site - (joking of course - how can you not miss them?)
Larry,
We have folks in our church that have KU setups that don't even know what the word "HACK" means. So warnings would not help them, they are just to naive---

Well in 2 of the 3 there are.
When you register
