New member Username: BcbornPost Number: 2 Registered: Nov-05 | What is the general process here for someone starting a new activtion with additional subscriptions? The person starting the new activation would have to buy a system as they do not have as system but we (3 of his friends)have non activated systems with cards. |

Silver Member Username: Thill1951akalkPost Number: 722 Registered: Oct-05 | Don't forget U must also pay for your subscription along with the additional receivers and taxes.. premium/platinum sub.......$90 assume 5 total receivers...$20 tax........................$10 total.......................$120 monthly Divided by 5 people .....= $24 each person monthly All PPV 's order ONLINE under account owners usermane and PW..everybody watches it...split that monthly too.each person picks 1 movie weekly...owner of sub gets 2 monthly and does NOT pay for his PPV's..so add $3.99 x 6 movies ($24)divided by 4 people (exclude the sub account owner)...so now bill is $24 each per month...sub/taxes etc $6 each excluding sub owner...PPV movies (6 pd by 4 ppl) Total monthly bill including 6 PPV's = $30 per person (sub owner pays $24) |

Silver Member Username: Thill1951akalkPost Number: 724 Registered: Oct-05 | Do this with ONLY trusted friends or family...all it takes is 1 person to blow this for everybody...by either accidentally plugging in the phone line or NOT paying the monthly bill.. |
|
Silver Member Username: Thill1951akalkPost Number: 725 Registered: Oct-05 | or blowing it by...getting pissed at U...or calling DTV if they have screen/receiver problem.. |
|
New member Username: JohnnysamsonPeoria, Il Usa Post Number: 7 Registered: Nov-05 | Where not that stupid, we know how it works, thanks though |

Stupid_Does Unregistered guest | Johnny, you are that stupid if you don't realize many neighbors are that stupid. |
|
Silver Member Username: Thill1951akalkPost Number: 730 Registered: Oct-05 | I take it that means U don't have children who could accidentally plug in the phone line...or U have never got pissed off at someone....or don't have a wifw who could accidentally plug phone in or not thinking and accidentally call DTV if she had TV problems...and U have a guaranteed for life job that guaranteees no layoffs and a monthly income.. 90% of the time its a wife or children who "FORGET" and make these mistakes that ruin it for everybody..only 10% of the time its intentional!....so by TRUST, I mean in in many various ways..like someone U can forgive, if a wrong act, either accidentally or intentionally, occurs! |

New member Username: JohnnysamsonPeoria, Il Usa Post Number: 8 Registered: Nov-05 | I have no children and the wife is not brain dead. So i have no problems here. |
|
blabbblabbbb Unregistered guest | okay...johnny...no problem for you, but how about the other 4 people you're sharing with? their mistakes and you're end up paying for it, how would you like that. shiiiiit always happen on anything and anywhere....good luck sharing sub. |

DTV vs. FTA Unregistered guest | HELL with sharing sub with DTV...it sounds good but it sucks. You have to pay for PPV, bummer. You have to pay for Sunday NFL package, real bummer. Whatelse do you have to pay on additional stuff, the list goes on and on, totally bummer. Now with FTA and some knowledge of where to get new firmware and how to flash it, BAM! you're good to go. Software are free on the internet. If you're too damn lazy or stupid then you just have to pay extra for your shiiiit monthly. A decent box costs you about $150 (like Fortec or Pansat) and add in extra $50 for the dish if you don't have one. Roughtly about $200 or so for the whole system, if you know how to shop. After that search the web for satellite angle setup in your area. Instruction is very clear with images, you can't go wrong with that. When it's all set and done. You'll get all the movie channels like HBOs, MAXs, SHOWs, DISs, STARZs, etc..., plus PPV, PLYB, Adultz channels on top of it. Man, I be tired of hitting the next button on the remote for movie channels. For NFL on Sunday...hahahah...I can see all the games by tunning in there local channels of where they playing at. It's just not as good as NFL package with no commercial. But I don't have to pay extra for it though. Sharing a sub w/6 people cost you roughly $30/m = 360/y FTA cost you about 200-250 at one time. Let say $250/y = 20.83/m If $200/y = 16.66/m I rest my case. |

New member Username: JohnnysamsonPeoria, Il Usa Post Number: 9 Registered: Nov-05 | Ya better than paying $70 for cable or more for bell. I still have a fta, but it is still nothing compared to DTV. I would rather pay than have this fta. Just my opinion anyway |
|
Silver Member Username: Thill1951akalkPost Number: 736 Registered: Oct-05 | DTV is a sure thing!...FTA is a HOBBY with NO guarantees of TV...most FTA hobbyists also subscribe to some satellite TV system.. |
|
DTV sucks Unregistered guest | FTA is here to stay, the code changes will likely to happen and force people to download and update their system's firmware. That's just a ball they play within Dishnet. Dishnet is playing game with two different faces, the bad and the good. I have don't to go to details on this, I let yall figure it out. For sure, DTV is a sure monthly pay sub thing. Pay for PPV, pay for Football packages, Hockey, NBA, all kind of shiiiiit, and not having international channels...hahahah...yah better than FTA...whatever yall say. I will always stay with FTA cause I know the real scope of how it works....and it saved me much much money for more than what i can get. |

Silver Member Username: Thill1951akalkPost Number: 740 Registered: Oct-05 | Most people are not worried about a cheap measley $30 a month to ensure their families ALWAYS have TV with every channel including 6 PPV's a month....others are and would rather blow $250 on nose candy..everybody has their own priorities!..the families happiness and entertainment outweighs most individuals personal interests or hobbies.. FTA is not for Free Tv for me...its a simple PT hobby...just like fishing or golfing..to each their own.. |

F DTV Unregistered guest | FTA is not free when you're refering of equipments, but it's free when you've that signal cracked open. FTA is not a hobby. It's a way of saving money watching free TV channels from DTV or CableTV without draining your pockets. You don't have to share it with anyone either. No protential of interfering of friendship relationship for any accidental causes. Paying CableTV or DTV subscription is just feeding the rich. So to ensure their families always have TV, then you're surely ALWAYS pay more then what you have to pay for. |

New member Username: JohnnysamsonPeoria, Il Usa Post Number: 10 Registered: Nov-05 | Thill is right it is a hobby, i wish i could subscribe badly to DTV. Also a little off topic. Did you guys here about a town is the US that changed its name to Dish, For this dishnet is giving them all free dishnet for the next ten years. Pretty sweet |
