Drew,
I've looked at this a little bit, and it seems kinda interesting. I see
it's possible to get a complete setup (motorized dish and all) for just
a little over $200. Decent number of channels available, but honestly,
so many of them are useful. I realize I can get all sorts of
international stuff, but really, how much useful stuff can I get from
this? It seems like close to everything is encrypted with digicipher 2.
As near as I could tell, there was basically no HD support either.
So being that I'm interested, what's so great about FTA that I would
want to shell out $200 and climb up on my roof to drop the dish there?
