Re: HBO for $10.35 on rainier
You couldn't pay me to watch HBO let alone having to pay for it. YMMV Certainly not a reason to pay $700 for an old outdated IRD that is pretty useless otherwise. Despite their claims about the Cisco IRD any of the new Enigma 2 consumer receivers can run rings around that receiver. What about 4K? Can't do that either.
10' Tek C-band dish, 1.2 meter KU band dish, ASC1 mover, Octagon/Zgemma/Edison dual band STB's. Running OpenPli on all.

They are selling digicipher 2 encrypted programming to small cable and internet companies. Mostly the Comcast HITS programming on 105 west. It is not available to consumers, but what is funny is that some backyard satellite enthusiasts figured out that they could just buy an authorized dsr6000 (or other decoder) off ebay and watch many of these channels for free.
Even funnier, someone (probably backed by some corporation) spent several years and a lot of money reverse engineering digicipher 2 only to conclude that the only programming he could watch was whatever was already authorized on the unit, but as already mentioned, the cable companies were giving away authorized decoders on ebay.
The programmers would be better served if they just developed and sold a CAM device to consumers for use with an FTA receiver equipped with a CAM slot. At least they would be generating some revenue, consumers could watch premium content on C band satellite and everyone would be happy.

Re: HBO for $10.35 on rainier
thats kind of dumb for them, in theroy it should work only for DVB-s2 channels on FTA receivers with CAM support..
Re: HBO for $10.35 on rainier
Satellite is a dead transmission medium for HBO content.
HBO Max is a much better value. It's better quality and more convenient than the linear HBO channels on C-band. I even get the service included for free with my AT&T Fiber connection.

Re: HBO for $10.35 on rainier
thats nice but its only for new customers fall into dumb trap...internet sure its fast but do i really need good fiber in my diet when i am already satisfied with my owned setup cband and grande internet stand alone, then already bought my owned cable modem so i can save money from ridicules rental fee..
there is no such thing free from providers..only free when you found it and not tell them about it..HBOMAX great only 12 months then your stuck with $15 bucks fee every month...its like stab in the back

I only pay $49.99 a month for unlimited symmetrical 1 Gbps from AT&T with a free HBO Max sub included.
Of course you need fiber. I'd give up my C-band dish before I'd give up my Internet connection in a heartbeat. The bulk of my entertainment comes from the Internet. C-band is only useful for some niche things like backhaul feeds of live events. You will find no better source for something like the MTV Music Awards than C-band. Most everything else is available in superior quality from an Internet source. I'd never watch a scripted television series or a movie from satellite.
Fiber is also essential for backing up all of my recordings from C-band offsite. I have recordings of every live awards show/concert/Super Bowl/etc. going back for the last decade along with tons of other miscellaneous things grabbed off of satellite. Some of my favorite music performances is material never released through any other outlet but TV. It is essential to have backups of all that stuff because if you lose it you'll never be able to get it again.

AT&T doesn't seem to be planning to stop offering HBO Max for free to customers on their highest Internet plan anytime soon. It seems to be a permanent offer.
