If you 2 will look in the Free To Air (FTA) Discussion section
paulh5093, you will find the people with 4dtv knowledge in the C-Band Satellite Discussion sub-section.
racevedoz, you will find the people with FTA knowledge all over the FTA Discussion section
It wouldn't hurt both of you to read the FTA/Mpeg2 FAQ's sub-section
And also, "Welcome to SatelliteGuys"!

I just joined today--mainly because I'm always interested in satellite technology, and I'm always looking for a good deal. I like to know what's really going on when I call Dish techies or when an install guy visits my home. I also figured this was a good compliment to AVS forum. I saw something earlier today about members getting special buys because of being a member--can anyone point me in the right direction?
Hello and Happy New Year to Everyone
My very first post here=very happy to have finally found a forum where the users actually talk about the legal use of their FTA receivers. Took me a bit of googling to ever find one> I was surprised that the other places talk so openly about theft of satellite signals. I'm an die-hard c-bander who has been learning about DVB for nearly a year, and recently bought a new Viewsat Ultra. Hope to find others who use this model and share some experiences.

Hi, I am here learning a lot of things about the FTA and satellite world. Is the first time in my life trying to find out everything related to this. I've been reading like crazy because I want to buy and setup a C Dish on my backyard very soon.
I am from Costa Rica, thanks in advance to the people that will be helping on my questions.

Hello
I'm a new member and new user of the Dish Network. I switched from Direct TV and TIVO when I got rid of my 50" SD TV and bought a 60" SONY HD.
The D* DVR is certainly the most "full-featured" I've ever seen. (I've had our local cable company's DVR, Bright House Networks, and TIVO since their Series 1.)
However, with full features comes complexity and coupled with, IMHO, an awful menu system makes for a steep learning curve. I've had the system two weeks and am still trying to figure out how to do things. (I'm an electrical engineer and have been in the compouter business most of my life.)
I have a new HDMI ONKYO TX-SR674 AV receiver and have been unable to get the remote for the VIP 622 to turn it off and on or adjust the volume. None of the codes in the D* manual work and neither does autoscan. Does anyone have a fix for this?
I haven't called D* tech support on this because the two times I called to ask them how to do something with their DVR they told me it couldn't be done and later I figured out how to do it.
Thanks for any help.

Just bought my first FTA package from gosatellite.com and trying to get it installed, up and running. So far I have the boxes unpacked, the dish on a pole and today I'll hook up the motor to the receiver and dish. I may be checking back with questions.

Hi new to the forum yesterday and was directed to this site by son-in-law as I have questions about my system. Had it installed by Dish Net Work representative and tried to do dish mover and they are not being too helpful or timely. So moved my dish and set it up myself. I have two dvr recorders and 2 tv's wanting to add a third. Used the setup to aim dish and got a signal strength of 83 to 84. Good viewing on both receivers at this time. I have a dish I believe a 500 with a dual lnb I think you call it, so what do I need to be able to have a third tv with 2 channel capability?
hi every body, is my first time in this area , i hope learn how make to recive signal in my receiver. Thank you and sorry for my english.
