I don't know anything about FTA stuff. My friend always has the PPV fights & I never had questioned him about how much his cable bill is at the end of the months till a couple of weeks ago. Well his answer supreised the hell out of me when he said that he pays nothing. He told me that a friend of his hooked up his receiver & satalites about 2-3 years ago.

He got me in touch with his friend & he told me that I need to purchase me a:

-Sonic View 8000 PVR (if I want HD)
-Sonic View ihub
-Dish 500 & a Regular Dish

Why do I need 2 different dishes?

Will I beable to get the PPV channels with this? What about the HBO's, ShowTime's, etc...? Any local channels?

I just don't want to spend my hard earned $$$ on this equiptment if it isn't going to work.

Thanks for any advice you may have!!!!
