Originally posted by chinamon nope. get yourself a free-to-air HD receiver with an 8psk module (viewsat 9000 HD is recommended). the only other way is to hack the dish vip 211 receiver which requires you to swap the tsop chips, pull the internal rom chip and mount it on a bga board, activate the card slow and unlock the bga card. however, i think subscription cloning is the only hack available for the vip series of receivers at the moment so that idea is down the shitter. get a fta hd receiver and set up dishes for nimiq1 (known as 91 west for expressvu) for bell's main channel lineup, nimiq2 (known as 82 west for expressvu) mainly for expressvu hd, echostar8,10 (known as 110 west for dishnet) for half of dishnet's main channel lineup, echostar7 (119 west for dishnet) for the other half of dishnet's main channel lineup, and echostar5 (129 west for dishnet) for hd. the you're laughing cuz you will have probably over 2000 channels to watch all on the same receiver.

so you've heard, right?

as for getting an OTA antenna, the best way to do it is get an outdoor antenna and mount it in your garage.

i personally run two non-hd fta receivers. i know people that have the viewsat9000hd receiver and they have it running nicely. the concept in setting them up is the EXACT same as setting up my receivers. i was in the satellite "hacking" business many years ago so i think i would know more than the average person.

Most definitely. I just suggested that Zenith antenna for those living in the city in apartments.

Cracking satellite receivers eh? Sounds like a good new hobby

Good thing I canceled my cable service. It's faster (and commercial-free) to just download a movie or TV episode and play it on the media center.
