4dtvforum.com Mark’s Start page for the 4DTV forums. Many good links, FAQ’s, and info. Mark started the 4DTV forum at Delphi forums.
4DTVROCKS.com Alternate start page for satelliteforums.com
satelliteforums.com Direct link to a variety of Satellite forums. The Heartbeat of North American 4DTV and DVB FTA (Free To Air). The folks on these forums can help solve problems and recommend equipment. Once signed up, be sure to read the FAQ’s and search the archives. All support forums will attract folks that are having problems, or beefs with equipment or programmers. Don’t let the whiners, or “doom and gloomers” effect you decision to upgrade to digital C/Ku band. Believe me, the same cry babies have been around since I got into C-Band in 1994. The majority of C-Banders are content; therefore they don’t post “Everything’s peachy”. Declining subscription numbers will level off; C-Band programming is and will remain profitable. If you have C-band, please subscribe to at least one or two channels. For $9.99 a year, you can be counted as a C-Band subscriber. (Spike TV $9.99) Be a C-band hero, not a zero!
Satforums has “owner’s only” sections where we discuss unscrambled channels. We try to keep specific feed info below the radar of the masses. There are hoops to jump through to get access because several idiots “blabbed” protected feed info on the web, and to programmers. We recently lost several very cool channels, to encryption, because of an ignorant hobbyist that contacted the channel staff. Anyone that posts specific signal info gathered from the forums to the open WWW, or discusses signal theft will be shown the door. Folks at satelliteforums pay for encrypted channels, and we quietly watch unencrypted free feeds.

My Favorite C-Band Programming Service is NPS (new URL www.callnps.com) NPS outbound department number is 888-210-3474 ask for an outbound CSR if you want to save money. Please keep at least one VCII decoder activated: Spike TV is $9.99/Yr, ABC Family is available for $11.99/Yr, CNN & Fox for $19.99/Yr. (Fox is fair and balanced news for fundamentalist. If you like George W. Bush, you will love Fox News. Buy it now, or you will go to hell! ;-) ?
NPS will cheerfully activate your 4DTV IPG, especially if you order a sub. $tep up and be counted. Don’t be a Zero!!!

“YSP” (Netlink Superstar Turnervision HBO) Beware of these guys (YSP has been bought by Charlie Ergan, founder of EchoStar/Dish Network) YSP CSR’s get cash incentives to switch C-Banders to Dish Network programming. Their CSR’s are known to lie to make a buck. Just say no to LSD! (Little Silly Dish ;-)
If you have gained good info here, please activate a VCII for $9.99 a year so you can be counted.
