Can taking a bootleg satellite signal really be considered illegal? This question is concerning law and bootlegging satellite signal. I can understand if someone gets fined for stealing Cable TV because in order to do so they would have to physically take a wire that they do not own, and re-direct it on to their property. However, satellites are very different. Satellite signals are being blasted down on to our houses whether we like it or not. How can we call it "stealing" a satellite signal if all we're doing is collecting a signal that is already being blasted at our houses? So can anyone actually get charged for stealing a satellite signal? Perdendosi That's an interesting point, but I don't think decrypting cell signals are is the same as Sat waves. When you listen in on other peoples conversation you are actually "invading" their privacy, and taking something "away" from them. Also the process of decrypting is actually pretty complicated and involves "stalking" the target and being near them when they are making a call to pick up the signal. This whole process is usually don't in public areas, and off of your personal property. Sat signals are different because they are actually meant people to receive, and you are decoding it at your home and on your property. That's really the key point; can you call it theft if it's already being blasted at you without your authorization.

How can I connect satellite and cable to the same TV? I recently subscribed to DishNetwork. It does not have many of our local channels, so I decided to keep basic cable as well. The satellite installer disconnected the cable only to the TV's on the satellite. How can I connect the cable to these TV's and not interfere with the satellite? All cables connect in the attic. It looks like the satellite is using the original cable that starts in the attic and terminates at the wall behind the TV. I do not want to run another cable down the wall from the attic to the back of the TV, so how can I use existing coax? Also, I have 4 TV's I want to connect to cable as well as the satellite. Thanks for any experience shared here.

How do I get my satellite dish removed? Hey there, I am finally moving out of my rented house and the landlady has (quite reasonably) asked me to take down a DirectTV satellite dish on the roof that I had installed a 3-4 years ago but disconnected my service after the first year. If I were to go up on the roof and try to remove it myself would it be relatively easy (I'm thinking just unscrewing a few bolts and cutting a cable)? Alternatively, is DirectTV obliged to do anything about it? Thanks a lot!

How much does it cost to have your own satellite put into orbit? Surely there is some rough pricing out there on the cost to get it into orbit and the estimated annual costs to keep it there and running? Perhaps the type of satellite would make a bit diff in price. I am interested in a satellite that would simply receive and retransmit simple data packets of no more than 1 meg or 2 at a time. No video or streaming audio or anything like that. 1 - 2 meg data packets are more than enough for the type of data I would need to send. More importantly I want to keep the data size small to achieve better reception on the ground. My understanding is larger data requires a stronger/better signal. My signal/data needs to be picked up indoors without any external dish or antenna. Currently looking at microstrip antennas that seem to fit the bill.

Do you still have to use a phone line to get satellite tv? I love my digital HD cable, but I'm pondering a move outside the city where satellite will be my only option. My question is this: Do the satellite companies still require you to have a phone line connected to your receiver? While I'm asking a question about satellite tv, your opinion on DISH vs DIRECTV would be appreciated. Keep in mind that getting HD channels (even local channels) is extremely critical to my decision. Also, I will want to get my Internet connection from whichever company I go with, too. So I guess there are really three questions in here: 1. Do the satellite companies still require a phone line? 2. Do you prefer DISH or DIRECTV, and why? 3. What about their Internet options? Thanks for your answers.
