was looking to do the same awhile back.. Most people told me that the "hookups" on Satellite are pretty scarce and most of them are down and they haven't been able to find a way to get them free again. Only thing I could find was "Free to Air" Satellite but it doesn't offer a lot of the local channels that I required. But hey I don't follow this satellite stuff, so if anyone knows I'll gladly take the same package as you Green_Goblin

if they want people to stop using satelitte singals without paying for them, they should stop sending a signal to other people's houses.
can't be that hard to find a satelitte person... there is still the shop open at kennedy and huntingwood by the patti place..

IMO, satelite is dying....Digital cable is what you should get, I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years you see Bell drop thier satelite service and switch to something similiar to Rogers.....Digital cable doesn't cost more, has On Demand, and the same channels for the most part...and you don't have to put a satelite on the side of your place

i'm really into the whole free to air thing, it only took me about an hour to learn, and i've bin suffciently entertained since.

thas what I thought, a friend of mine is still doing it, and he pointed me towards the super dish or whatever. Digital cable is good but honestly, I dont have the money, plus my parents want the international channels but at the same time I want the educational stuff for my lil bro.
But thanks for the links, keep em comming. I hope I find someone who has these units on the forum so I can grab one off. Im sick of running on 20 channels. Even tho Im not much of a tv person but thats prob cuz theres never anything good on!

Hey Mischev so basically are you saying there is a way to get Expressview but the recievers are pricey? All I have seen is stuff for Dishnet, but from the channels I have seen its still not that good.

I have a coolsat 4000 satellite system that I program myself, what it does is rotates my dish occasionally and steals the signal from every other legal service in my area....lol...it doesn't use cards either but maybe every 2 weeks I have to reprogram it since new stuff comes out on other people systems and it has to get newer software to get everything updated..
