My wife is despondent because the FTV is down. Since she suffers from a disability, she is what we used to call a shut in. This is often the only joy for her when I go to work. In the past, board members were so helpful that they got me going with the motorized, and a cband. Anybody have any recommends on an HD box? I thought of going to the dish network, but then how would i still get my fta stuff? I have to have my Whitesprings! LOL any ideas? As always thanks to the members of the board.

Whitesprings isn't HD it barely qualifies for SD. They did change frequencies recently though. See here...http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air-fta-discussion/178244-white-springs-tv-changing-freq.html
EDIT: I misunderstood you are after Fashion tv. I see you are still getting whitesprings, but they are in the process of changing frequencies.

I see a couple Coolsat 8000's on ebay in the $150 range. Not a great price, but a decent price ( mine was about $225 and I thought that was a bargain). That would be my choice for an every now and then HD box.
Probably will make more sense to go with Dish Network.
From FTV's website:
FTV HD (Fashion TV in High Definition) is now available in the USA on Galaxy 19 satellite, the channel is encrypted. In order to upgrade to FTV High Definition- please contact vlad@ftv.com ; you will need to purchase HD receiver and decoder card; the Decoder card annually fee is 299$.
DN will cost more than $299/year, but you'll get a lot more than one channel.

The strange thing is that my coolsat 8000HD shows the channel as scrambled but after a few seconds of waiting I can watch it.
