    Most systems use a magnetic-strip card that's programmed to tell the system which channels are available, and in some cases, even how much (on a monthly basis) one can spend on free PPV movies.

    Hacked cards are referred to as "football cards" (why, I don't even know), and require the use of a card programmer (check EBay), as well as the data to unlock it (satellite BIOS? and channel info), which is downloaded from various messageboards.

    The hardware isn't illegal unless found with the satellite BIOS...also, be weary that you're going to have your satellite company constantly booting you and destroying your card info, which will require you to go through the tedious process of programming it every month or so.

    A friend of mine eventually had done it so much that the satellite provider blocked his receiver entirely and he had to start stealing his service from Canada, resulting in a completely lame selection of programming. Good luck.

    What kind of system do you have? Just ask around, more than likely someone can find you one for about $100, which should last a good 6 months if it's your first card.

    I've seen at least two posts where you've made this same type of remark. If you're not willing to help perhaps you should keep your smartass comments to yourself.

    Would you like some dinner to go with that whine? Some people have jobs and probably work harder than you. You're only 18 years old, so that would mean that you've only been capable of being legally employed for the last two years. That doesn't qualify you enough to give advice about jobs/life in my opinion. You have no way of knowing who has a job, or what their financial situtation is. Get over it.

    That's the most rediculous shit i've ever heard. You don't have to be a qaulified professional to know when people are cheap. I'm only 18, and I found that i'm smarter than most adults I met, most of which have never even stepped foot into a college. Stop worrying about my posts, and start coming up with better insults than the dinner/whine deal. That's so incredibly lame.

    Your whining is incredibly lame, therefore you get an equally lame response :) The reason I was concerned about your post in the first place is because you were trolling, which is considered unacceptable on almost every single forum on the internet including this one.

    This is a troll post:
    Judging from the posts above, I'm not the only one who feels this way.

    Best way to go would be to find a pansat 2500a receiver or somthing similiar. Cheap and easy to set up. I'm getting all the Dish Network channels with it.
