If your neighbours actually believed that they were getting it legally, I would think it realy wouldn't matter and they would still be the one breaking the law (along with the installer). |
Not trying to defend anyone here but I had a Dish Network telemarketer tell me what I had was illegal. You simply can not get that many channels free. What is "too good to be true"? My list of legit in the clear premium channels with my 922 is fairly impressive. Then when you compare programming costs against DN,
DTV or cable it starts to look "too good to be true".
Just a relative thing I think. Ignorance is no excuse for the law as most all know. I can say words from my own mouth that as long as you buy the equipment the programming is free. I was referring to actual FTA programming but I could see how that could carry over.
I also have many encrypted channels on the 922 that are clear on the Fortec receiver. Univision is not even available with the 922 but FTA on the Fortec and a premium channel on DN. Azteca is the same way along with Telemundo. I have MTV out of Argentina on the Fortec along with a couple MTV channels on the 922 that are in the clear. Again a
channel one would consider a premium channel.
Those of us who make a living or hobby playing with this stuff know what is and what is not but to average citizen how would you actually know? I hope I have at least shown how easily one could be duped into thinking it was legit.
I do agree concerning the installer. Should I ever learn who the installer is I will make a call into DN. At this point my neighbor has no TV. They got hit 6 weeks ago and have not got it going since which is what initially started the conversation.
