Free-to-Air TV and Radio?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on

ChiaBen asks: "I was visiting a friend recently who has a Free-to-air satellite receiver. It allows him to pick up any free satellite TV and radio programs, along with many pay-to-view (requires a payment, of course) programs. Nokia has a receiver, and I'd like to know if else is making similar hardware. It seems interesting, but before I drop a few hundred bones on one, I'd like to know what everyone has to say about it?"

    You do know that when you use devices like these, you are just stealing tv from legitimate tv stations.
    Just wait until they start cracking down on all you sattelite pirates.

    Cool, so the Mexicans, Canadians, Brazilians, Peruvians, Argentines, Bolivians, Chilians, Columbians etc. invented the Internet? And there I was thinking it was people from the USA (Useless Section of America) that did that.

    But then I have been known to be wrong before ... and I have been known to pour petrol on the ground, hold a lighter over it and dare someone to knock it out of my hand - have learnt that a flameproof/retardnat suit is handy :-)
