The Fortec Lifetime Ultra is an mpeg-2 free to air satellite receiver.

P:rices vary -check ebay.Search for "free to air" or "fortec lifetime
ultra."

Dishnet and Bellexpressvu channels are subscription only with proprietary
hardware.To get them any other way,would be stealing!In any event,while
there are some free channels on those sats(I think),they use circular
ploarization,so a different lnbf would be needed.

Future for the big dish?Well,of course!It 's the backbone of the satellite
reception industry!

All kinds of channels out there.See www.lyngsat.com or www.satcodx.com
