FTA requires a satellite dish though.
However, if I new about FTA before I scrapped the one on my house, I would have done it.

so? just go to a local swap meet on a sunday morning and you'll find one for $5-10 ... hell you can have one of the extra ones I have if you want.

Why wouldn't I be serious? I'd like the DCT2224, what kind of condition is it in?

If you could, please power it on, without a coax line plugged in and see if you get a loading screen.

cool man, let me know. I'm eager to play with it. I think it may be running the new Tivo software.

actually I'll take the DCT6208 - I've found out how to modify the firmware.
