Satellite TV

No, I know how to get it but what I don't know is how to reprogram it after they've changed all the codes.

Are you asking how to get free satellite tv?

A bit of assumption on my part: You're in Canada with a FTA receiver picking up US signals (specifically DISH network). As you can't subscribe legally it's not really stealing, especially if you already subscribe to Canadian CATV/satellite.

The way you reprogram the thing is different for each receiver. You have to go back to the source you purchased from for instructions which SHOULD'VE been included. That assumes you have the new keys. If you don't, you're hosed until you get 'em.

Note that I've never owned an FTA receiver and have been out of that 'world' for many years now. I simply remember a lot about it and know how it goes.

(Now if you're ripping off BEV all bets are off. ;))
(...said as a US Starchoice subscriber who's paying those extortionate rates)

P.S.

I just gotta ask; why on earth would you ask here?? Lit has to be the LAST place for that kinda info.

I can get more than DISH but you've got the general idea.
And why ask here? Because I didn't know where else to ask.

And yes I'm Canadian.
 
Perhaps they're all gone now, used to be that you could find a million message boards by googling "FTA receiver"
 
What is it with Canada and TV? You can get everything in Mexico, Columbia, Brazil, etc. But Canada makes everything so damned hard.
