Has the high cost of satellite TV service got you down? If so, FTA satellite TV is a great way for you to avoid the costly programming of paid satellite TV services. FTA is the acronym for “Free to Air” satellite TV. If you have an FTA system, which is readily available at a very affordable price, the programming is totally free. There are no charges associated with FTA programming; no package fees, no monthly subscriptions to pay and no contracts. FTA is simply free programming.

How is this possible? In a world where there is little available for free, how is it that there is free satellite TV programming? To completely explain why FTA is free, you need to understand encryption. Simply put, encryption is encoding of signals so that they must be decoded in order to view them. It is this encrypting that allows the satellite TV service providers such as Dish or Digital TV to charge fees for viewing their programming. In essence, they charge you to decode or translate their signal into a viewable format. FTA signals are not encrypted. Therefore, these signals do not require decoding or translating to make them viewable with equipment designed to receive non-encrypted signals. Unencrypted signals are the basis of “Free to Air” satellite TV, making truly free satellite TV possible.

FTA is not pirating; it is legitimate and 100% legal. All around the world there are unencrypted signals broadcast purposefully. Some stations broadcast FTA signals so that they are available to their native people who may have moved overseas. Some stations broadcast to spread political or religious information and some broadcast in the belief that viewing should be freely available to everyone. FTA signals are broadcast from all around the world (at least 40 languages are represented to date). These signals are picked up by satellites and rebroadcast over North America where they are available for free reception. Current satellite lists (with all the channels for each satellite) are easily found online along with their coordinates.

To take advantage of FTA you will need a system designed for receiving unencrypted FTA signals. These systems are very affordable with prices in the $130 to $430 range, depending on the complexity of the system. There are two types of systems, stationary and rotor or motorized. Single or multiple satellite access viewing determines the system you will need.

The system you select is entirely dependent of your intended viewing. If you are content to view programming from a single satellite, a stationary system for around $130 will be sufficient for crisp, clear viewing. If you are interesting in programming from multiple satellites you will require a motorized system capable of turning to the various coordinates of the multiple satellites you wish to view. These systems are very affordable with prices from $180 for a basic motorized system to $430 for a system complete with WiFi access and Ethernet port for Internet access.

For a very affordable equipment cost, you save mega bucks with free TV access for years to come. FTA eliminates the high cost of satellite TV. Why would you miss the chance to watch free TV? Don’t keep pouring money into pay TV; get your FTA system now!
