What Are the Pub Members Forums on SatelliteGuys.US?

The Pub Members Forums are the supporter-only section of SatelliteGuys.US. According to the site's own forum description, Pub Members are members who "help support SatelliteGuys" financially, and in return they "get rid of most of the ads plus gain access to other exclusive features." If you only want to read and post in the public satellite, DIRECTV, and DISH sections, you don't need Pub membership. If you want an ad-light experience plus access to the supporter-only boards, that's what this area is for.

What Pub Membership Gets You

The site lists the benefits directly in the Pub Members Forums description:

• Fewer ads — most advertising is removed for supporting members
• Exclusive features — access to areas and functions not open to regular accounts
• Exclusive forums — boards that only Pub Members can read and post in

Note that "most of the ads" is the site's own wording, so some advertising may still appear.

The Exclusive Forums Inside

Two examples are visible in the forum list:

Electric Car Showroom

A forum described as "available exclusively to our supporting Pub Members to discuss Electric Cars and Electric Car Technology." This is a non-satellite topic area — it exists as a perk rather than as part of the core TV technology coverage.

SatelliteGuys Classifieds

The description states: "Supporting Pub Members may post their items for sale here!, anyone may buy!"

That sentence defines two different roles:

So the Classifieds are asymmetric: selling is a supporter privilege, buying is open to anyone.

How to Get Access

The forum list shows a Pub Members Forums category alongside the public categories (SatelliteGuys Website Support, Television Signals, Social Influencers, Hometown Discussions). The site's welcome banner states that basic registration is free, but the Pub Members description ties membership to supporting the site — meaning access comes from a supporting membership rather than from a standard free account.

The available page information does not list a price, payment method, or signup link for Pub membership. If you want to join, look for the Pub Members section or a site support/upgrade option after logging in, and confirm the current terms there before paying.

Is It Worth It for You?

• Consider Pub membership if you use the forums regularly, want fewer ads, and are interested in the exclusive boards such as the Electric Car Showroom or want to sell equipment in the Classifieds.
• Skip it if you mainly read the DISH Network, DIRECTV, or general TV signal discussions — those are public, and the largest activity on the site sits there (for example, the DISH Network Support Forum shows roughly 80.9K threads and 1.2M posts, and the DIRECTV General Forum about 35K threads and 424.4K posts).
• If you only want to buy from the Classifieds, you don't need Pub membership at all.
