PLEASE READ BEFORE considering the purchase of an MPEG-2 Receiver
We cannot guarantee the permanent availability of any one particular channel. These receivers are primarily designed for the hobbyist; to allow hundreds of additional channels to become available via satellite. This is NOT the same as, and not a replacement for a 4DTV digital receiver.
It should be considered as a supplementary method of getting additional channels otherwise unavailable---no more, no less. Nor should this be considered as a permanent way to receive channels that are available on a small dish system which normally charges subscription fees. It will NOT give you free movie channels or enable you to disconnect cable television or other normally subscription pay-TV service. Please do a little homework by studying sources such as the Lyngemark Satellite Chart at
www.lyngsat.com or study our entire MPEG-2 section found on the Global Communications website at
www.global-cm.net
These lists will show current in-the-clear (Free-To-Air) channels, if you are looking for particular information on the status of a channel or service. Any channel that is now part of an otherwise subscription service but temporary available in Free mode should be considered as NOT available on a permanent basis...unless you pay a subscription fee and have hardware for that service. Otherwise, do what most hobbyists do...enjoy the free show while it lasts. If a favorite channel goes away, rest assured that something new will soon catch your interest. The number of channels continues to grow with time.
NOTICE Over the past year or more, a new trend has emerged that is probably too good to be true. You may have heard names like "BLACKBIRD", "SILVERBIRD", "SILVER BULLET" and others, applied to MPEG-2 receivers that claim to be capable of receiving subscription programming free of charge. Certain promoters have even claimed the idea that such reception is legal. Numerous receivers have been modified by unscrupulous people hoping to make a fast buck on the greed of certain folks that still believe that you can beat the system and that premium television is something that you should not have to pay for. Common sense should tell you otherwise. Laws are now on the books in both the United States and Canada that list heavy fines and even prison time for stealing programming. It's not a joke any more, and if you are foolish enough to buy into the idea that you can permanently avoid paying for satellite channels that normally require payment of a subscription, an expensive lesson may be in your future. If this is not enough to make you think twice about beating the system with modified equipment, think about this: Two of the largest companies affected by such hacking (Bell ExpressVu in Canada and DISH Network in the United States) have done card swaps with their paying subscribers. When all paying customers are converted to new cards, the less than secure datastream that has been making it possible to cheat the system will be turned off. The new system is much more secure, and when fully implemented in the manner that Bell ExpressVu has done, has yet to be defeated. Some breaks have appeared in DISH Network's initial implementation of the new system, but rest assured that in the long term, piracy will be brought under control. Think about what happened to hackers of DirecTV earlier last year when a secure card system was implemented. That game is over, and so will it be with the other programmers once these new arrangements have been refined and completed.
Don't buy into the idea that you can get free DISH Network or Bell ExpressVu, because it won't last. Please do not ask us about cheating the system, because we cannot and will not assist you. MPEG-2 receivers have many legitimate uses, as outlined above. Study the information provided on our website to become familiar with what is truly available free-to-air.

We offer Microyal receiver as a legal means to receive Free-To-Air Satellite Signals. We have become aware that there are means to alter the Microyal receiver to receive signals that are not paid for. This is illegal to do so in the United States and Canada; and it is a Federal Crime.
