FTA is great news to those who know a super deal when they see one. FTA is not a secret society or a communicable disease. FTA is not just another acronym thought up to overwhelm our brain. What then, is FTA? FTA is the acronym for “Free to Air” which is the terminology used for describing unencrypted satellite signals transmitted for free reception with the proper reception system. If you are currently a satellite TV user, you are receiving programming that was encrypted upon transmission. You subscribe to a satellite service such as Dish or Digital TV that deciphers the encryption and provides you viewable programming for a monthly subscription fee. FTA skips the whole encryption and satellite service company concept. FTA broadcasts straight to the user’s receiver without encryption. Very simple, very free and 100% legal.

All around the globe, signals are constantly being transmitted, both encrypted and unencrypted. Out in space there are satellites floating around receiving these signals. These satellites rebroadcast the signals from around the world to North America. With the correct type of receiving system, North Americans can access these free signals at absolutely no cost other than initial equipment costs. With no contracts to sign, no monthly subscription fees and no package deals to decide on, FTA programming is widely available for free.

Programming comes from all over the world and thus, there are more than 40 different languages represented on FTA. For anyone interested in multilingual programming, FTA TV is the perfect choice. The majority of English language stations are special interest programming such as politics, religion and PBS (Public Broadcast Station).

Now, the bottom line~ what will it cost you to set up a system that will allow you to receive FTA programming? There are two types of very affordable systems available. One is a stationary system and the other is a rotor or motorized system. The system you select is dependant on the intent of the user. If they are only interested in viewing programming from one satellite, they will want a stationary system. For those who intend to browse among multiple satellites, they will require a rotor or motorized system.

For a complete stationary system expect to pay around a very reasonable $130. This package enables the user to point to one satellite and access all that satellite’s available programming. The package is complete with everything you need including receiver, dish, cable and hardware.

For anywhere from $180 to $430 you can purchase a complete motorized system ready to install. All of these systems are state of the art technology ready to serve you. The least expensive systems are every bit as good technologically as the more expensive and will perform at the same level. The difference is that the higher end systems are designed with Ethernet ports and Internet capability for easy online system updating.

For around 75 dollars, you can get a 36 inch dish. Spend anywhere from 110 dollars to 26o dollars, and you can get a receiver. Finally, you will need all the hardware, cables, switches and other accessory items necessary to complete your system. It is recommended that you investigate package options before attempting to build your own system.
