Unmapped Channels

Archived from groups: alt.video.satellite.4dtv (More info?)

I have been asked about getting unmapped digicipher channels on a 4DTV
receiver. That question needs to be answered by someone that has been
using the receiver longer than I have. The only channels that I receive
are mapped. Is it possible, and how is it done?
