Admidst all this latest negativity, I thought I'd post a nifty reflection I had on my current FTA rig (rig being the key word). You'll have to picture a fade-in to a batterred dish lashed onto a Dish mount...
"One unwanted DirecPC dish from neighbor's house; $0.
One leftover J-Mount from previous Dish Network installation; $0.
New MTI 0.3dB LNB and Twinhan 102g DVB card from Ebay, shipped; $87.
Thirty feet of leftover RG-6 from said Dish installation; $0.
Enjoying The Tube & 30 other stations on G10R... Priceless. Oh, and also Free!*
*-without monthly fees, membership costs, contracts... just hardware."
I just went and checked... even the Twinhan card prices have shot up on Ebay! A month back, they couldn't give those things away... now $50 with $50 shipping?
