Free Satellite TV

For those unaware of free satellite TV programming, get ready for great news. Incredible FTA systems make is possible for you to receive free TV channels with special receivers. FTA is quite literally “free-to-air”. This is possible because there are hundreds of satellites floating around in space picking up broadcast signals from all over the world and rebroadcasting these signals over North America for free. FTA is real and 100% legal.

Since the satellites are picking up signals from many different countries, many of the FTA channels are foreign language channels. There are over 40 languages represented to date on FTA channels. Special interest channels make up the majority of English language channels. Complete channel listings with their bearings are available online to keep you apprised as new channels are added. HDTV, analog and digital signals are all available on FTA. There are no subscription or programming fees. With the proper equipment, FTA channel access is 100% free.

There are two main FTA systems for receiving channel signals from the various satellites transmitting these signals. The stationary dish system is a dish that only locks onto one satellite. The motorized or rotor system allows locking onto signals from multiple satellites. The system you choose will depend on whether you intend to watch programming from more than one satellite. For those who like to browse between satellites, a rotor system is a must.

You can purchase your FTA system in two ways, as separate components or as a complete system ready to install. Choosing to buy your system piece by piece is not for the faint of heart. There are many highly sensitive parts to the system and a novice might find extreme frustration trying to put a system together. Besides, often times it is more expensive to put a system together piece by piece than to buy a ready-to-install package. At prices ranging from $110 to $260 you can buy your receiver; for $75 you will get a 36” dish and then you will need various cables, remote controls, switches and other hardware. It is wise to check package prices before you opt to by piece by piece.

Stationary FTA systems work well for those who are intending to watch only one satellite and have no plans to switch back and forth between satellites. For a very affordable $130, you can purchase a complete package allowing you to lock onto one satellite and access all of its channels at absolutely no cost.

Rotor or motorized FTA systems allow browsing between satellites with a touch to your remote control. For very affordable prices as low as $199, you can buy a complete system that will enable you to navigate between multiple satellites. The opposite end of the price range is a motorized super system priced at $430. This beauty is much more than a mere receiver; it is WiFI ready with an Ethernet port system to allow Internet access for upgrading. In addition to all the free channels you will receive, games are included for extra entertainment. This top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art system also includes parental controls, cables, HDTV output connector, RCA jacks and much more. This is the super system you don’t want to live without.
