It won't be of any use to me if tapping into the satellite signals on my own is illegal! I have to research THAT first!Hell kid I will save you the trouble on a Dish HD satellite dish, I have one that I don't useYeah , tell me about it! That is the image that keeps me from getting cable.Yes, because some of my neighbors have DISH and Direct TV and they don't seem too happy with them. In the old days I had a 13 foot dish and the picture was EXCELLENT. The price was also reasonable - until they figured out how to gouge on dish. I like cable because it seems the most reliable. They are all gouging.
I don't have cable TV OR DISH. If I want to see a movie I go to Red Box and rent one . For news,sports and other entertainment I use XM radio.
I feel great about that!
I understand, but I appreciate the convenience of instant TV when I want. I just don't like feeling like I'm buying a used car each month from some shyster in alligator shoes.
As an aside, I wonder who owns the satellite beaming the programs to earth? Didn't the taxpayers pay for the rockets that put them in space?
I'd like to build my own DISH, decoder and receiving apparatus if it's legal... hmmm, something to check into I guess!
Good luck
