The title says it all. Here's what this hobby is all about and what you must be prepared for:
1) You need to have internet access.
2) No, seriously. You need to have internet access.
3) If you are "not too good with computers", you need to take a computer class. Nothing involved in receiver maintenance is difficult, but it takes more than being able to turn the computer on and off. I cannot emphasize enough that running a receiver is 100% computer-dependent. If you don't know what is meant by the words "unzip", "flash", or "download", take a class.
4) If your system was given to you as a gift and the person has promised to help you maintain it, do not disregard 1, 2, and 3 above. There may come a day when you are on your own.
5) You need to be prepared to read. Yes, there are spoonfeeders on most sites (including this one) who will answer each and every question you have, but do not rely on this. Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man how to fish and he eats for life.
6) It goes down. Most of the time it's simply a matter of entering new codes with the remote until a new file is released. Sometimes you will be without TV for days, weeks, or (yes) even months. The moral of the story is don't give up your cable subscription or your existing subscription to Dish or Bell. Treat the "free TV" you get with your receiver as an added bonus to programming you already pay for. That way it doesn't hurt so bad when you're without it for a while.
7) When there is an extended period without access to Dish or BEV, DO NOT under any circumstances, complain about your lack of TV. DO NOT criticize or blame manufacturers for the fact that there is no fix. It is important to remember that free TV is NOT owed to you. The money that you paid for your receiver (I don't care if it's a $150 VS Xtreme or a $500 HD receiver) DID NOT include any support for illegal activity.
8) Do not ask dealers questions about Dish or Bell. The only reason they can sell receivers legally is because they are advertised for legal use. Legal use does not include stealing from satellite providers. If you need to return a receiver for any reason, be sure it does not have anything but the original factory software and do not say that you used software you got from this site. They will tell you you're screwed since you have voided your warranty.
9) Do NOT double post...and post only questions related to the thread Suject
10) No, you cannot get Direct TV.
11) Ignore and avoid Nalin Nada aka cartier and other fake nicks...she use many aliases here and is a mole for Dishnet and Bev TV...and is a rat also..
The important thing to know is that LK is a paranoid psychomaniac, usually bent upon destroying everybody's information except her own postings. In spite of all the pompous postings, you WILL find him abusing people all the time.
Here is the latest list of sites for more information on FTA, files and keys.
This is my modified list of recommended sites. Latest modifications follow:-
Data Viewing Sequences [link removed] (All receivers) Future FTA - Blacklist's Site: [link removed] (C00LSAT and All receivers) DSS Newbies: [link removed] (Pantecs,all clones and all receivers)
File Share Site - No Registration Required: -------------------------------------------------- Good for gettting Original factory firmware: [link removed]
Best site for DISHNET info, channels, transponders and changes etc.. [link removed] [link removed] [link removed]
there goes nalin...trying to disrupt these forums again....and FTA discussions...this is why #11 was added in the original post...As U all can see, she just VIOLATED #9....
SO LETS ALL IGNORE NALIN....yesterday she used the "Eat me" alias , trying to destroy this site and FTA discussions...She's a fruit!...along with being a mole for DN and Bev...
If you forget the PIN code for entry into special areas of software for your receiver, you will need the Master PIN. Every receiver has a different code. Many have 0000, bit not all. The following list is of good use in an emergency.
Master PIN codes for most receivers from worldfta.com
