had the reciever too...after the (i think H card) got looped.I switched to starchoice here in canada..they were offering a deal if you switched your grey market receiver youd get a starchoice receiver..Not bad considering the card/receiver didnt work

A dish is an antennae.... All antennae are stupid.... You can pretty much bullshit them into doing anything you want.... IE: your car antennae.... By changing the tuning knob, you're lying your ass off to the antennae, telling it taht it's longer or shorter than it really is....
The channels that you get from the FTA are, for the most part, Nag2 channels anyway....
So, after all of that, YES....
