Satellite potential

rtp

so i have this satellite on my roof, but am wondering what to use it for and how efficient is it and stuff

1- tv channels but i think i wont be able to get like FOX movies and Show Movies and other good channels so what is the point?

2- internet , is it even legal to take internet from like outside lb and stuff? or is it only illegal if i want to sell it?
+ it's costy i checked one sevice it was like around 50$ or something like that..

so anybody knows of any good effective use of a satellite?

Well if your not going to use it for internet nor for TV Channels well you can use it to build a WiFi biquad dish antenna or recycle it to make something like this:

For decoration

or as a solar cooker instead of using as an umbrella you can use the dish:

It is legal to get a satellite downlink, but illegal to upload anything from non governmental services.

50$ is not expensive if it's anything better than Ogero's 512K plan

@bluewolf Don't you have a prob with high latency? because as we all know Satellite internet doesn't have a good latency.

Fill your satellite dish with sharks with freakin laser beams.

TheIlluminative

Sell it for $15 :P

Flakk

keep it for next year and you can use it as a sled in the snow :P

As far as i know Fox movies is FTA, free , OSN is "encrypted" , Google, Microbox dongle.

Depends on setup and channels on pointed satellite.
Anddd... if you use DVB card - u can buy cardsharing access (cheap thingy). Some channels have static key.

Microbox is not that Good, Y6 is the best Dongle :D Aljazerrasport +1 - 10 (+ OSN cimena 1,2,3) :D

For example

chosen2k

buy a dreambox, add to it conditional access software modules hook it to the internet and unlock gazillion of channels.

so how do i make it work am really noob when it comes to satelite and stuff...
like do i need a receiver or will the dreambox act as a receiver and stuff? and where do i need to point the satelite to?
