on the Contrary....now is the time to buy as the uneducated are dumping their units not anticipating a fix. Viewsat getting the fix helped thte situation abit, but I still say now is the time to buy either a Coolsat or Viewsat.

I don't think it'll work for the time being...CS fix isn't out yet. BTW, if the VS fix came out a week ago..didn't they say CS fix will be out shortly...it's been a week man!

Let me guess...the person who you bought it from said it right? They bought a lot of stock when this was popular, and since July when it went down, they've been trying to get rid of their stock...so they're desperate to sell. MAybe they told you that just to sell some stock. Maybe, I don't know..but I hope it comes back on soon.

Uh oh, I didn't know it's been down since July. And a customer there also recommended it as well. He seemed like a good guy. Hopefully I didn't get screwed.

Dude you shouldent "always" follow what you hear from peeps they lie and deceieve the public for $$$$$ hehe most people dont realise how political this industry is hehe like tootsieroll said most if not all receivers will be up within 30 days so chillz. Tv aint canceld hehe there is way too much money to be made in this industry. DUn worry dark ull get ur precious Tv back hehe why not try testing plastic? more up time and u can have backup if anything peeps choose fta for the simplicity but its beginning to get more and more sophisticated ie cards and card readers and card servers. Its all a waiting game if u ask me :D
the compaines are finding it easier to keep their mouths shut now soo they wont have too hear the bashing and flaming; see for them its lose lose they say something they dont meet it they lose; they dont say anything they lose hehe soo its just easier to say nothing at all i suppose.

I was using an Atmega card with Dish Network and that is down right now. I see there are selling bell expressview receivers in the flea markets for $ 130.00 is that working right now ? Can I just buy it and see channels immediately ?

Of coruse they do ? True RFD members look for cheap stuff, same stuff that sells for $150.00 "elsewhere" is selling for $130.00 there.

Just the IRDs? If so, you can pick those from RFD- BST for like $40-50 bucks. Its the ROM card thats worth more or go with Viewsat.

This crap is exactly why I continue toi pay for my TV. Sure, getting FTA for 300-400 flat with no monthy payments *sounds* great, until it is broken and then offline for 1-2 weeks or even longer. I don't have the time or patience to put up with that kind of nonsense, and my SO *WOULD KILL ME* - not worth saving 50 bucks a month IMO.

Actually they are still working on it. They just don't want to pay someone else for a quick fix.
