Try thinking before you repeat that garbage.

Of course it's not the same. The more people who watch unauthorized
satellite TV, the more DTV or DISH can charge their advertisers.

no authorized viewer, no $$ income.

widespread theft decreases the value of satellite tv, and besides its
not reliable, anti theft measures are being implemented constantly
knocking out your free service, which really isnt free, you likely
paid someone for advice as to how to watch err steal service......

sit down to watch your favorite show just to find its out from latest
countermeasure...........

geez isa it worth it?

let alone your name in the paper for theft???

it costs tons to uplink, satellite, and support satellite tv, isnt the
company deserving of some profit?
