I'm sorry I didnt see this before I went to lunch, or I would have nipped this in the butt
Belkys, If all you are trying to get is the audio channels on Dish 119, yes that shouldnt be a problem. There are a couple other channels FTA too, like NASA and Angel One. Gol TV is on 110, but there isnt much FTA on 110.
However, if you have downloaded an illegal program into the 2500 to receive Dish Network programming illegally, that is considered hacking and it is not condoned here.
PSB is right. We have had a flood of people coming on this board and asking how to illegally get Dish Network programming. When they register, it clearly says "Satelliteguys.us is NOT a hack site". Those posts usually are closed, deleted, or vaporized. But we cannot assume someone is a hacker unless in their post they bluntly ask how to do that. According to the post below I see no issues. Sometimes I can get it out of them by asking what you want to pick up and they'll say. I will admit I have jumped the gun a few times, but assuming isn't always the best option.
And to some of the posters on here (I'm not naming names), some of you have been on here for a while and help out greatly. However, with all new posters in the Free to Air area, no matter how simple the question is or whether it has been asked 100 times, unless it is a blatant hack question, PLEASE make them feel at home. I'd like to have the biggest and best FTA section, but when veteran posters put down the newbies, it makes us look bad and people won't want to come over here. Frankly that crap has to stop. On any given day, there can be 60-100 people browsing the forum, yet few members. If I was getting into FTA and wanted to know more, if I came here and saw stuff like "go away" and making people feel bad, I sure as heck wouldn't want to come here.
Sorry for jumping on the soapbox, but sometimes it has to be said. If you feel a post shouldn't be there, hit the "!" in the red triangle in the post. That reports the post to all mods for the area to check out the post.
