So the last receiver I owned was pansat.. now i am looking to buy a new receiver.. i am going towards dreamlink v4.. does anyone how it is ? or is there anything better?
Drop a hit of acid and U will see more then than on FTA..FTA is dead unless its limited local channels that rabbit ears will get ya... I'm guessing U fell of the planet the past few years..
If ya really want cheap TV, share a sub on Directv...same advice I've said for years..
Honestly, your only option is to go for some private servers out there. BUT be careful when you go this route. Sub sharing between friends IMO would be the best option. Yes, you pay a little more but it is totally worth it. You do not need to worry about servers going down, channels freezing, black outs, and most of all, you are safe.
There are private servers out there which are really cheap.
If you have a HDTV (who doesn't these days) and live on the west coast, get a HD box. More private servers support satellites located on the west coast, than on the east. Some areas on the east can NOT get 129 (this is were most HDs are). If you are not in a clear footprint for 129 and can't find any provider supporting 72.7, then don't waste money on a HD box. Get any SD box that can an ethernet port.
If you are OK with hiccups, intermittent freezing, ECMs, etc., then go for the private server option. It's cheaper but you get what you pay for.
If you want quality, sub share with friends/family. The more you can get, the cheaper it gets.
