What are Free To Air (FTA) channels?
FreeToAir (FTA) channels are digital channels that are not encrypted by the service provider and require no subscription or monthly payment. They are provided free of charge by the provider and are perfectly legal to receive with an FTA receiver.How can I find out what channels are available FREE to air?
There are many free to air channels available in North America on satellites such as Galaxy 10R, AMC4, Telstar 5, AMC3, etc. These channels are from the USA and from around the world. See http://www.lyngsat.com/america.shtml for a complete listing of what is available. Anything with an 'F' designation is FREE TO AIR.Are there any Dish Network or DirecTV channels that are FTA?
Almost all of the channels provided by these companies are NOT FTA. The channels are encrypted and require an authorized receiver and monthly subscription.Can I use an FTA receiver to receive premium channels from Dish Network or DirecTV?
NO. These channels require subscription and special receivers supplied by the service provider only. Any tampering with your FTA receiver (whether by hardware or software modification) to try to receive the premium channels without paying is not only a violation of the law and unethical, but also will void the warrantee on your receiver and may hinder it unusable. We do not support or condone piracy of signal. Don't even inquire about it.
