Hey asuna, what FTA receiver(s) do you currently have? Are you using a small or full size dish? I've got a Satwork 3688 slaved to a 4DTV. I love all the channels I'm getting with the Satwork but I don't like a couple of glitches with the receiver and the fact it doesn't pass AC3 audio. When TechTV left C-band and went digital I can still get it on the Satwork but there's no audio
At least it has blind search. I'm thinking of getting one of the newer Fortecs because they do AC3
and have blind search. I'd order a blackbird just to watch a couple of Canadian channels they refuse to sell to us but my luck I'd be swooped up in a sting led by DishNetwork. I love how they've convinced judges the only use for card reading equipment is for stealing their signals and forced dealers to turn over customer lists, so buyers of the blackbird would be an even easier target. I'd hate to be fined for something I wasn't doing
