Post subject: FTA sweeping the world

Till recently, I had no clue what FTA meant.
Future Teachers of America, maybe? NOT!

FTA is "Free To Air" satellite TV. I had no idea that there were so many FTA stations broadcasting every day from a line of satellites in synchronous orbit over the equator. Those very same satellites also broadcast all the programs for Disk Network, Direct TV, HBO, PPV, etc.

Cable TV companies pick up these same programs on their own satellite dishes and put them on their own cable network.

Q. So how does a person tune in on these FREE channels?
A. With an FTA receiver.

There are actually too many brands and models of FTA Receivers to list here.
A quick Google Search for "FTA Receiver" nets you 451,000 places where you can find out more about 'what is FTA' and what receivers are available, web sites dedicated to receiving FTA channels, etc.

All the FTA channels are programmed into a Flash Rom in the receiver, just like the Rom in your own computer. With a re-flash of this rom chip, any FTA Receiver can be made to receive ALL satellite channels. Forum rules dictate that I stop right there. OK?

I was also amazed to find out just how many web sites are totally dedicated to supporting viewers of FTA TV.

Then there is FTA for your PC. I just found this out this very morning.
You can, with a minimal setup fee, ($49.95 for the special software) watch thousands of FTA channels on your own PC.
A Broadband internet connection is probably required.

This opens a whole new vista for thousands of home computer users that otherwise would not be able to ever watch these channels, some of which never show up on Dish Network or Direct TV.

The new wide screen monitors that people are putting on their home PC's today, and are showing up on high-end laptops, lend themselves very well to the new TV formats.

Read what's available on the internet and be amazed!

So, I take it that you tried it?

Is it a good experience?

Do you recommend it? I assume so since you posted.

I went to your link and it sounds too good to be true, but if good, then we should all have this.

Tell us about your experience.

I already did, but my post was deleted. Evil or Very Mad

Overmoderation at work again, I suppose. Evil or Very Mad

Well, post some links for us to check out this FTA situation, and maybe the link for your equipment. Looking forward to it...could use some free TV in my future!!! Thanks!
