If you are like most of us in these bad economic times, you are watching your pennies and spending as little as possible. Do you hate writing out that fat monthly check for your satellite or cable service provider? We all know that monthly rates have been creeping upwards for the last few years and the current monthly subscription fees and package rates are becoming prohibitive. Listen up! There is great news for all of us in North America; there is a free alternative to the high cost of pay to views cable and satellite.
FTA (Free to Air) satellite programming is available to anyone with the right equipment for no charge. That’s right, no monthly subscription fees, no packages to add on, no contracts and no viewing restrictions! An FTA satellite system costs the same as a Dish or Digital system but there are never any costs for the programming you receive; your only investment is in the equipment. What a deal; buy an affordably priced system, install it and never pay for programming again; it simply cannot get any better than that.
What makes this wonderful free TV possible? How can this be? The factor that makes FTA possible is non-encrypted (un-coded) signals. Pay to view services such as Direct TV or Dish make use of coded or encrypted signals that you must pay them to decode before you can view the programming. FTA utilizes signals that are not coded and require no decoding to enable viewing. Un-coded signals are broadcast from over 180 countries. These signals are picked up by satellites that rebroadcast them over North America still in their un-encrypted format. It is this non-encrypted format that makes free TV programming possible; anyone with an FTA system can receive these non-coded signals and view the programs for free. Simply sweet!

Like all electronic equipment, FTA satellite systems vary widely in pricing. The two main components to consider are the receiver and the dish antenna; receivers cost anywhere from $89.99 to $519.99 and dish antennas sell for $49.99 to $119.99. You will also need cables, mounting hardware, brackets and etc. FTA systems can be very elemental or you can buy a system that includes games, USB ports and other technological extras.
Why continue to pay a monthly service fee when free FTA TV is available?
