Did you install it yourself? If so how hard was it getting the signal? And are you referring to coolsat?

If those 2 air thingies are free... why did you buy one ? how much did you spend ? j/k pimp ! not sure what your talking about...

Its a ViewSat and I bought it from the guy and he programmed it and I was good to go...now obviously it was much easier for me since I was already a DishNetwork customer (they can suck my dick now and that 150 they took from me each month is now gone)

I get absolutely every single channel and if it ever crashes I can reboot myself with some codes from the computer that he taught me how to get and once it crashes I will be able to give more details (since I have yet to reboot)

I get a ton of channels....you name it I get it...and Im sure I get all of the NFL too since I have 67 different local markets to choose from also

Cost me $150 for the whole thing but If you dont already have a Dish on the roof Im sure you can get the whole thing set up for around $300....I would say I get about $2000 worth of TV every month

PEACE

A dish (75) and the FTA (135) can be bought on fleabay. I've have used them for 2 years now. Very little knowlege needed. Go to totalfta, you know what is in the front and back of that and read a bunch.

Viewsat offers the best support. Get either the Ultra or Extreme.
The new boxes with HD or DVR capability are not getting great reviews.
Pimp: I am in Wisconsin and in addition to Dish, I get BEV Expressview Sat out of Canada.
Hardest part is finding the Sats.

Once you have the sats locked in do you have to keep fine tuning them etc?

[mcisk]

No. After initial Sat reception, lock in place and never reset. Mine has survived 3 Wisconsin winters with no problems.

What is this and where can I find it?

Were you able to watch all the NFL games with all those local markets?

[griffey_mojo]

I'm interested in purchasing one of these...

However...I love my HD...I see that they have HD recievers.

Are these recievers any good?

How many channels are there in HD?

[Spearit]

Viewsat 9000HD
Price: $459.99

looking at this myself. Seems most numbers I call are not good numbers from the site.
I have a call out to 2 techs (installers) to return my call. If you have one of these or one like it - tell us of your pros and cons!

[Gookis]

WOW! I'm excited here! A question though....for anyone who can answer.

I live in a high rise, and the building shares a dish or dishes on the roof, that we don't have access to. Is this a problem? Do I need actual access to the dish?

Also, does it matter is it is direct tv?

[Spearit]

Gookis- it seems logical that they can use your dish to gain access to the satelites- therefore you will probably be out of luck unless they all want to change,
