Hello,
I am new and am not sure i am on the right site, so proper response might just be that i am not

. I was an old school pitou / HU programmer that hasn't been back to DTV for years. In SF, CA now and DTV is my only option. I had heard there were new and exciting ways to squeeze a little extra out of my subscription if you know what i mean, and i would like to just confirm that here and maybe get pointed in the right place. They aren't delivering for 4 days, so i still have time to get different boxes, change subscriptions, etc.. if there is a reason too. Just looking for some pointing in the right direction. Thanks!

You are better off trying one of the US sites, this is a UK forum, and most of the members will know nowt about US satellite stuff.

The North American providers are changing their encryptions so they will be going secure in the near future.

BTW - you need to use European terminology on this site - FTA refers to channels transmitted in the clear, not illegally decrypted channels as it does in America.
