What I was referring to was a commercial receiver. I have 2 DSR 4200 receivers. You can get used 4200 receivers very cheap on EBAY. My original 4200V cost me about $1200 new, but I've seen them in the $100 range on Ebay, and that was prior to
PBS eliminating a lot of their DCII feeds. I'm guessing you'd find them even cheaper now. My 2nd, which was a 4200b, cost me about $40 on ebay. The "V" version is better, as it does all the common SR values, while the B and C versions only do 3 of the common values.
The 4200 receivers will get things that are in FP or ZK free modes, sort of like FTA in DVB speak. The 4200 is a bear to tune though. Takes me about 55 keystrokes and a 5 minute wait to re-tune to a new transponder. THis is because it only holds one VCT at a time, while some of the other commercial receivers, and the 4DTV receivers hold data for hundreds of channels.
The commercial receivers can't be subscribed to the 4DTV channels though. You can only get what is free. Not very much DCII free, but there are things occasionally.
