If I buy a Coolsat 4000 package with a Dish Network dish and a dual LNB will I need anything else to watch FTA programs or hack Dish Network?

Also, if you setup your receiver to hack Dish Network is there a turnover on how long you can run it for? Can Dish "zap" your box, and if so can it be reporgrammed?

thanks a bunch!!

all you need not mentioned is enough rg6 coax and connectors and a diseqc switch along with files avail for download at this site for your coolsat.(coolsat pro loader,latest norwest bin, and how too manuals) NOTE** hacking is a filthy:fear: word, why not say test:yes: instead.as far as getting zapped everything could end at any second or last up untill decodeing is changed (updated) by provider.

good luck
and
happy testing

"Testing" is a much better word imo.

What kind of turnaround is there for updating software when it's been zapped?

all i can say is norwest is on top of there game , dont think they(coolsats) have been down in 6-7 weeks for more than 4-5 hrs when we were waiting for new bin, as of late norwest has been updateing bins and no problems.
but be advised this could last a long time ( years) or be over b/4 im done typing this reply

so the longer you wait the less time you will have it

:)

Coolsat loading is relatively easy. Lots of updates with great bins. Best thing to do is read, read and read some more. There is a lot of great information out there to learn. It's up to us to educate ourselves first and ask questions when you're stumped. This is a great place to learn - you won't be disappointed :)
