it's not that i can't afford satellite, i just would rather buy beer, and i kind of like fooling around with different receivers. can't wait till someone breaks the new nagra3 encryptiont hat bev is switching over to. dishnetwork is all i got left, and surely they're be fixing their shit soon enough...

i wish dtv was still doable, direct was sick....

Get a pcmcia com port adapter or a USB-com port dongle. Simple.

they'll more than likely be jumping over to the new nagra3 encryption soon too. but it's only a matter of time i guess. i can still pick up nimiq with a strong signal, so the hardware is all still sound, it's just gonna be a waiting game until someone witht he skill breaks the encryption...

You can buy USB-serial adapters on ebay for $10

Printer ports have also disappeared from laptops and are harder to find on new desktop mainboards...

It was a lot of fun back in the day fucking with the cards. I had a subscription anyways, but I would swap the cards out if there was stuff on ppv I wanted to watch lol. Got a good 1.5 years or so for free muah.
