How can I get more/better channels on my motel TV?

Question

I am currently doing out of town work and I am staying at a Motel 6 for a few months. I noticed that the tv is hooked up to DISH network How do I know this? When the signal goes out every once in a while the DISH TV info screen pops up....I also see advertisements for buying pay per veiw movies.. The set I have only goes from channel 4-28. and you can't rent any movies anywhere.

...There is no set top cable or satellite box..I change the channel just like any other tv hooked up to cable in other motels...The problem is that I only get 15 crappy channels..I was wondering if anyone new a way to get more channels on the tv. The TV looks like any other standard set in a motel and is bolted to the table.

Answer 1

This would depend on the motel and the TV options they give you.  You'd need to ask the motel management about this.  You'll probably have to pay for the service if you want more than just regular cable.

Answer 2

get an attenna and a DTV box. Gives you local channels

Answer 3

you have to buy equipment to steal TV signal

Answer 4

You can make friends with the front desk. All the channels are controlled from there. So there is nothing you can do.....that's legal.

Answer 5

Get a patchable receiver and you will be able to watch all of Dish Network's channels. For free. But don't forget, that it's illegal to do. But it's awesome. Trust me.

Millions of people have illegal patched set top boxes. I have three.
