its funny the industry hasnt caught on yet. koudos for freedbs trying to put stuff in the air. let 3rd parties build the boxes and the end user install their own equipment or hire someone too. what could create more jobs? its really crazy the government ever allowed a provider to provide their own hardware (eliminated jobs) or allowed them to send out their own installers (eliminated more private jobs) or would allow cband subs to die. seems the consumer always gets shafted and forced to consume. funny we have the numbers and yet let things go on the way they are.
ex. i once had a sc reciever i scored from an aquaintence. he told me there was a balance on it but he'd take care of it. about 2 months after that without seeing him i found out he shot himself. wow. so i tried to sub the box about six months after he was dead. the csr told me there was a 250 dollar balance and the box couldnt be subbed until it was paid. i respectfully told the csr i could buy a new box for 200 dollars with credits but i already had one and that buddy was dead and id be willing to settle for half the balance. a fair solution to everyone. the csr told me it wasnt possible. i asked her what i should do with this reciever then, it still had the plastic on the lcd display. she said unless id pay the balance it was garbage. i asked her if it was sc's corporate policy to throw perfectly good hardware into an overfull landfill and she told me that it appears it is. haha.
long live fta. F#$% the providers and their greed. super props to anyone trying to provide freetv. may god bless them. we all want to see this go live.
