You get all the Sat channels. Not exactly 100% legal but... do a Google!

WTH... I have the big Directv 3 LNB dish. What else would I need to get the FTA? Do you guys get ALL the channels? Someone said they get like 500. Even the skin channels! How much is involved with getting the codes? I heard they change them up like once a month.

never heard of this. what exactly would you need to get FTA satellite?

The receiver mainly and the codes. Also tools to aim it plus a clear line of sight towards the Sats.

Someone post links to the pieces in your setup if you don't mind.

I have a sonicview 4000 and the 2lnb dish network dish iirc dish 500. I get a shit ton of channels. the 4000 is easy to load the file on since it has a usb drive. files are easy to find/load it is the way to go. I have less than 200 in mine all together and it paid for its self in a week i bet with ppv

What was involved in aiming it? Is yours motorized or do you need to make adjustments at all to get different channels? I would be happy with just getting all the Directv channels //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

Bigger the better! You need the LNB's but all can be gotten off E-Bay.

How illegal is this, what can happen if you get caught?

I dont think you can get dtv it is only dish network. had a good friend set it up but there are different ways to aim it and setup etc... just like any other sat but a tad more involved
