BTW...I gave U the simple version..its is a failry simple process, but many and any little small detail, can cause problems..but its NOT a rocket science for the "end user" and FTA owner...MUCH initial reading and continous weekly reading is required as new keys and bins are frequent...IMO, the hardest part is aiming/aligning the dish and running the cables to the receiver..

Hello
thanks

[oiler]

N3 is the new "scrambler signal" to make it simple. All previous channels, except the true FTA's are scrambled again. We have to wait on a fix or go to true FTA's. Patience...it will come soon. There are still some FTA's on 91, 101 and some others. Go to True FTA's in the Forum and read. It will tell you a lot.
