DIY. go to dishnewbies, educate yourself and buy a FTA receiver (i.e. ViewSat), update it with the latest code and you get catch way more birds than you can imagine: dish-110/119/121, bev-82/91. here is the link: -quisling(quisling); 2007-11-2 (#4032984@0)

ok, guys, if you don't want to do DIY, it's a good news for me. I can charge $350 for you to get DishNetwork 110, 119 and 121, another $200 to get Bell 82 and 91. Every time it's down, I charge you $45 to recode. How is the deal? -quisling(quisling); 2007-11-2 {637} (#4033576@0)

just a reminder, all international programs will be moved to 118.7W from 121 -peeler(逛街的西瓜); 2007-11-2 (#4033602@0)

that will not be done until the end of 2009. 118.75 is a circular satellite, but the frequency is so low so you need a big 39" dish. There is a special LNB on the market called FSS which can catch both 119 and 118.75 at the same time. -quisling(quisling); 2007-11-2 (#4033607@0)
Do you know when? Thanks! -forbaby(ForBaby); 2007-11-2 (#4033608@0)

Thanks, it is a good deal to me. I don't want Bell and probably I can manage the recoding by myself to save $45. Would you like help? -taptap(taptap); 2007-11-2 (#4033613@0)

with $350, you will not get HD channels at all, because a HD receiver cost you more than $500. -quisling(quisling); 2007-11-2 (#4033619@0)

That's fine. I can live without HD channels. -taptap(taptap); 2007-11-2 (#4033636@0)

sorry buddy, i don't do this business any more, especially in winter time. it's brutal to staying outside climbing a ladder to tune up the dish. The profit margin is too small. all my point is: do it yourself. it's easy, fun, and saves you a lot -quisling(quisling); 2007-11-2 (#4033671@0)

My kids are watching Treehouse, YTV, Teletoon, etc. Are those channels widely available? Which star? Thanks. -albxu(Yukon); 2007-11-2 (#4033702@0)

I have 3 dishes outside my house pointing to 5 stars (110, 119, 121, 82 and 91). I have one receiver (viewsat ultra 2000). With cables, switches (one SW21, one Chieta Diseqc), 3 brackets, 5 LNBs, the total material cost is about $450.You think $550 is too much, then do it yourself and save that $100.
And also, I am not in business anymore. So you won't get the deal even you are on your knees. -quisling(quisling); 2007-11-2 {164} (#4033745@0)
一点也不黑，假如装的不是克隆机 -brickstaker(闲聊灌水); 2007-11-2 (#4033754@0)

$45 each it goes down???????? the system goes down more then 2 time in a months recently.......... -mpoon(无牌电工....); 2007-11-2 (#4033927@0)

我只是提供信息，不作生意，我提供了那个报价，只是让大家知道成本是多少，人工费应该是多少。我说了：我自己用3个锅看5颗星，1个正版viewsat ultra，成本就要$450。你自己想象一下，零度的天气，架个楼梯，爬屋顶，用冲击钻打无数个洞（每个锅至少4个洞，39“的锅要6个洞），还有几十米的RG6的cable要走线。现在一盒concrete screw 16个，就要$7.99。

脑子有毛病的人才会去赚你那$100呢。嫌贵自己去干。 -quisling(quisling); 2007-11-2 {224} (#4033773@0)

我们买的正版的viewsat ultra才$180,一个33寸的大锅加LNB才$50. -ziye(twelve); 2007-11-8 (#4045245@0)
