DirecTV and Dish are paid subscription programming, Satellites have channels from all over the world that are free. I was wondering if anyone here has one.
Just Google Fee To Air and check out the satellites, you won't be receiving all English speaking channels or what your used to on pay satellite subscriptions.
I talked with a guy at the dog park several times about this subject and he said you can get EVERYTHING with the FTA setup. He suggested the coolsat setup. I understand that you need a dish, cable, box and your ready to go. He did mention programming for the box that can be found on some BBS / web boards, but I haven't gotten that far with it yet.
I did ask several times and he said you get everything, HBO, showtime, PPV, ...
I've seen these systems on eBay after checking sadoun.com and one seller seems to have great feed back.
karljay you might be talking about booter cards and hacks. Some people like to play games recieving illegal satellite signals. HBO & showtime are paid programming.
Bars used to have them and that's where I got my experience dealing with them.
I was forever having to go to the lounge part of the restaurant to move and set the dish to another satellite for "the game".
There are Cnd/US border people that have them ,but most of them are in rural areas like farms & Ranches.
