Tada. Wonder if someone has opened up those FTA receivers to compare some of the chips or manufacturer's to those of the Dish receivers.
How large is the Pirate/Hack market?

I know what it is! But, I've been sworn to secrecy. It makes for an affordable, but very high-quality beginner's package for an FTA newbie like me. And, I'm looking forward to setting it up this week!SatinKzo said:

I have a hard time believing Dish would be in on this so that they could sell more 311 receivers. What are those selling for? $109?
However I could see an incentive for them hoping that with many of Dish-compatible receivers are out there and with Dish zapping them once in a while, that some of the non-hackers getting free subs will grow disenchanted with having to get it fixed and will eventually sub to Dish. Wouldn't have to be a huge number for this to be profitable to Dish, even if only 10%-20% eventually subbed, that's a lot of revenue.

I was referring to the FTA receivers, not their Dish Network receivers, but heck, maybe they are in on it on those too. If the market gets depleted of used receivers then more people have to buy new receivers. I doubt that though.

Or maybe thats their cover... hmmm makes u wonder doesnt it...
.... but shhh we dont want them to find out we're on to them... 
you think the distant network scandal is bad, could you imagine dish in court accused of aiding and abeding sat tellite piracy! and that's a federal crime! i don't think dish would be so stupid as to do it. i do think they are testing every kind of fta to see what they can do to prevent it. think it could be a inside pirate leaking info???? hummm sounds more possible, or some 12year-old computer wize figured it out in like 10min trying to get the playboy channel! lol
This whole theory of Dish covertly encouraging hacking is so f-ing ridiculous, I can't believe people are actively engaging in conversation about it. (other than to say "that's f-ing crazy")
That's why we need to attack Canada asap. It'll be somuch easier than Iraq. We can drive there. And, we won't need translator's. The real plus is that seal fur will become cheap and plentiful.
Yes, let's attack and annex Canada.
The conservatives love attacking other countries, and we can promise to end their universal health care. And, of course, their hacking our satellite providers.
But what they might not realize, is that if we conquer Canada, then it will add about 8 new blue states & help the liberals take the House, Senate, and Electoral College.

I have visions all of the hardware they can possibly have their agents buy from websites, ebay, etc. all hooked up to TV's in one room. All of the receivers/solutions alongside with several different types of subscribed receivers with different packages. The kicker is, none of the are hooked to actual satellite signals. They are hooked into a mock E* satellite signal that is never sent up in the sky. That way they can play and play and play all they want and the name of the game is for the non E* stuff to go black without affecting the subscribed ones.
I think it would be pretty cool to watch a guy make some changes on a PC and start watching the TV's go black across the room.
this is insane... people can openly talk about hackin and try to get help for it... http://sacramento.craigslist.org/ele/197084798.html http://sacramento.craigslist.org/ele/195188808.html .. and if u just go onto craigslist and search "dish" u get rom cards for sale, and hackin info.. its insane!!!
