Direct TV receivers and FTA

[Brabo]

Somebody gave me three Direct TV receivers and I was wondering what I can do with them. I don't plan to subscribe and have no interest in hacking but thought they might work as signal splitters once I get FTA into my house. Any ideas? Thanks

pretty soon people who are using them for illegal activites will be dumping their FTA boxes because there won't be nothing for them to watch

I can't wait to buy a Pansat 3500 for about $25.00!

Any ideas how much longer?

I'm getting impatient...
