G10R - KBS, SBS, YTN, ISC and MBN will be taken off of FTA

For the last few days, Iskycom has been sending scrolling text saying that current viewers won't be able to view all of their channels starting Sep. 24.
(I think that their contract with G10R expires on that date or something.)

It also said that those who wish to watch their channels will have to get Korean package from Dish Network and pay $39.99/month.

I wish that these channels stay FTA, but it looks like I'll have to aim my dish back on T5 on next Wednesday... :cry: :cry: :cry:

I have been seeing the same thing and I just bought another dish and discq switch to swtich between T5 and G10. So far the KISB channels on T5 are still FTA. If G10 Korean channels goes dark (radio station term) then will move new dish to T5 position as I painted the old dish and well it doesn't do as well as it use to. This sat stuff is new to me. If the KISB channels go scrambled then I will have to renew my "backyard" contract with TAN on T5 since I am using the receiver they supplied when I first set up this sat stuff.

was just wondering if our 80cm dish and lnb work with dish network recivers? I know our dishes don't work with Directv, I was wondering if Dish network was different. is there anyways to ordering the G10R - KBS, SBS, YTN, ISC and MBN besides dish network after the 24th or is it exclusive to dish network?
