I'm just getting into this and I was wondering what the pros & Cons are to hacking a dish system. I only have a Dish Network dish on the side of my house that came with it. I have no reciever or other equipment and Would like to do this cheap and is hoping you peoples can point me to the right equipment, web sits & guides.
Thank You in advanced

First of all,hacking Dish is NOT cheap or easy...FTA (free to air) is much easier and cheaper,and does pickup Dishnetwork channels and Bev (Canadian Tv)..BUT, I wouldn't buy an FTA receiver (about $190,which is the only expense)now cause the signal (nagra1) they pickup for TV is being slowly replaced (now til August) with nagra2 which has not been hacked yet..if U do decide to start either Dish or FTA,then [link removed] is a great forum for newbies,guides,files,and up to date info...and Pansat 2500a is a reliable,easy,popular FTA receiver..
