Most FTA users have backup. You take the edge off if you do. I have an old big dish with just enough programming to fill in just fine. It's not that expensive. I'm thinking of adding programming for 3 months to get past the beginning of the new year ways to shake us off. Last year took until March to settle down. Was changing bins every 5 days. Wait until digital takes over for analog in February. Good ole rabbit ears won't work anymore as backup.

I don't know what kind of receiver you have but Pansats evidently ran out of memory. That was predicted. A fix was also predicted and that is to clear it out. There is a conversion bin out similar to Puff conversion that will clear the memory and set the unit back up for new bins. Blind scans and Channel Master is necessary first. Then we just download new bins as before.
