We used to pay yearly and some little italian dude would come and set it all up for us. The dishes i have out back still move and everything, pick up about 10 foreign channels.

Re: Experience
Well, lets see...
I started hacking cable in the 80's...
Then I got into Dave & cards in the 90's...
I'm trying to remember all the different cards I had/have...H...HU...Football...Access Card 4?...even a couple of 5's?
All junk now I guess...then we got a stack of Dave & Charlie boxes (doorstops/dust collectors)
Remember the thing we put into the card slot to hold the card?...what was that called? a bootstrap loader? I forget...
Then remember all the little junk trinkets that were suposed to block ECM's that were sold on ebay?
Then came FTA and CoolSat4000...had a bunch of these babies...
Now new CS models & getting into SonicView & NeoSat...as the world turns...Always something new around the corner. |

Wow, brought back lots of memories!! I forgot about the little dish hidden in the attic years ago!!! lol So I guess I started long before the CS5000. But with this latest form of FTA, it's been about four years.
