Ordered a card from these guys and I can report that it arrived the next day and was activated within 36 hours as promised. They said this is because the card as to be in the receiver first before it is activated. Reason for the 36 hours was because they were very busy with orders because of FTA going down.
Also ordered a TIVO and card from them and that was just plug and play.
The guide and the way the DTV receiver changes channels puts my Cools*t to shame. Now I know why my brother always complained about the FTA guide compared to the guide on DTV.
Kids have their shows and I don't have the ppv's but there is more than enough movies in the HBO's to keep me happy. Where else can you get 250 channels for only $45?
Best part was they shipped from Canada so no duty or taxes.
As for Dish Network, I like DTV's receiver's much better and the TIVO/DVR's are much more easier to use than Dish Network's DVRs. And I don't have to worry about multiple dishes or having to do check switches.
Mili's pack did not include the NHL, MLB or NBA sports pack, however with these guys I was able to get NHL, MLB, NBA, NFL, college football, college basketball and March Madness for an extra $50 a month. They had 6 month and 12 month deals but I could not afford the money right now.
