Programming in the clear on Dish

[wyattcox]

Our landlord left Dish Network Receivers and a Multi-LNB dish when they moved.

Curious that if we hooked an off-the-shelf FTA receiver to the feedline if we would get anything.

the only free channel in the clear is Dish 101...the rest are scrambled

Last time I checked an unactivated receiver several years ago, I could also get NASA TV and AngelOne. Maybe that's changed.

Those got scrambled earlier this year sadly :(

Cheap Charlie even scrambled the test cards that say "you're on 61.5, 129 etc"
