What are your favourite FTA forums.

Many of them seem to be shutting down recently.

www.totalfta.com for viewsat
www.f2atv.com for coolsat

If you mean today in particular, DN changed thier signals this afternoon and all the sites are overloaded with people looking for fixes. Check back after 3AM and you might be able to get in.

The big bust was one of the big BeX sites www.maestra.tv They were busted by the RCMP in April and it's now shutdown. The owner of the website was also a pirate dealer as well called "High On Tech Systems". It was only a matter of time before the RCMP busted him as he was openly selling illegal equipment (open ROM cards, emulators, loaders, etc) from within Canada to Canadians. Fortunately, the RCMP have not been going after consumers, however it's not to say that you won't get a friendly letter from one of BEX's lawyers

Hey, have a look at www.curious-contraptions.com. It was setup by the original founder of www.al7bar.tk named "cruelio". CCc also had a forum member there do Fortec bin support by modifying Pansat bins after Ariza dropped support for Fortec :

Curious Contraptions is closed permanently
Thanks to everyone who has contributed throughout the years, it's been a fun ride but now it's time to move on. The decision to close CCc does not come from any sort of legal or financial issues, but rather due to something a bit more personal, though perhaps a bit selfish: it's just not fun anymore. This has always been just a hobby for me, and when a hobby stops being enjoyable, what's the point of going on? I've had enough of the greed of importers and dealers, the childish infighting among community members, and the nonsensical air of paranoia that now pervades this hobby. It has been discomforting to watch as the commercialization of what was once a wonderful hobby has literally drained every last bit of enjoyability from FTA as unscrupulous dealers have attempted to wring out each and every last dime. CCc had the noble goal, thanks to its dedicated staff and loyal member base, of keeping FTA a hobby. Given the way that the FTA community has shaped itself over the last few years and particularly in the last few months, it is clear that CCc has failed to advance this goal despite the most earnest efforts of its supporters. In this context, it's time for CCc (and cruelio) to disappear. (resumen en español)

Viewsat being Sued by Echostar

Apparently, a number of FTA sites associated with Viewsat have shutdown because of a lawsuit issued by Echostar. It's unusual because curious-contraptions was a very anti-Viewsat site

http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/2/371833.html

(3) assisting others in receiving (including assistance offered by providing hypertext links or banner advertising) ECHOSTAR's electronic communications without ECHOSTAR's authorization through the ,www.hashho.com, www.totalfta.com, www.fta-newbies.com , and www.curious-contraptions.com websites, any other Internet website, or in any other way.
More commentary and a link to an OCRed version of the court filings will be posted at a later time.


Date: 7/18/2007 Time: 9:25 PM, CEST (Europe)

I have decided to keep the site offline as I continue investigating this matter. I am also preparing a statement with regards to recent developments in the FTA community and the effects that I expect these developments to have. Please check back in a few hours. Meanwhile, if anyone has any information regarding the unauthorized breakin, please contact me at cruelio@gmail.com
