I had a neighbor come over last night with all kinds of questions concerning what I was doing. They had noticed I had removed the dish from atop my house. It seems as though they are running a Pansat receiver that has been hacked and were interested in what I was running.

I explained each dish and it's purpose along with what hardware was involved with each one. Also explained that my receivers were stock FTA and blah blah blah. After listening to all they had to say it dawned on me. They think FTA is a hacked FTA box. They do not even realize there are channels out there to be had with a stock receiver.

At this point it started to occur to me that many of those who post here concerning info on hacking. I believe they actually do not believe it is hacking. They actually believe it is what is labeled as FTA. I have seen on sites listed as "although not the original intention the receiver can be modified". Pretty soft language for what is really going on.

Just an observation. Of course there is no real way to convince them what they are doing is illegal or that FTA does not require the ability to descamble. Anyone else run into this mentality?
