Enter to Win: Sponsors Super Satellite Sampler System - Contest Ends 2.28.2010

A coworker told me his brother-in-law was getting all of Dish's channels using FTA so I put FTA in the search engine and SatelliteGuys came up in the search.

It looked more interesting to go with the "True FTA" than with the eye patch gang.

Glad I did.

I first got interested in FTA when I took a job in another state. With the economy shrinking down, so was our budgets. Our house didn't sell so the family stayed there while I communted weekly. I rented a small place in the town I was working in and we couldn't afford to get another DN setup for there, so I started doing some research about 'how to get free tv' and eventually came across "Satelliteguys". The crew here got me started on my first FTA setup & Now I am a FTA Hobbyist for life!!

Thanks for the contest!

Wow, that is an awe inspiring set of booty for one lucky recipient.

>What got you interested to purchase your first Free to Air satellite system?

Believe it or not, I got my first FTA receiver (already had a 10' bud) because of not a single channel, but a single show on a single channel. NBC came out with a new show that our family enjoyed immensely. When NBC did not bring it back, they sold it (or somesuch) to the Pax network. Since Pax was FTA on C-Band, I bought a receiver to get that one show.

I haven't looked back since...

I used to help a cousin install 10 foot buds back 25 years ago. One day over a year ago I did a google search and found out people were still using those big dishes for FTA! I was hooked. I enjoy the thought that FTA is the fine art of scrounging parts, and dishes that would otherwise go to the scrap yard. I'd love new system like this so I can finish the system I started for my brother last year. Blind

I became interested in satellite programming years ago, my uncle had a c-band setup. I helped him tweak, as much as a 10 year old can, more of a go-fer than anything. Fast forward 25 years....I was at a friends house that had a motorized KU setup, he showed me how he set his up and what to look for in a good receiver. I bought my first motorized dish last summer from Sadoun and have been loving it ever since!

This is a incredible opportunity, THANK YOU!

What would you tell a friend or co-worker to interest them in owning a Free To Air satellite system?

I would tell them that it brings channel surfing to a new level. There is so much free stuff out there that you can surf forever and not run out of stuff to see.

Thanks guys. Looks like a great bundle. I got interested in fta when I got tired of seeing all the bum channels D offered and they kept going up on the price.

Wow, nice contest!

What would you tell a friend or co-worker to interest them in owning a Free To Air satellite system?

Just have a look here [thelist] and see what you can watch for free! Buy one and I'll come help you put it together/put it together for you! [depending on their level of technical skill]

What got you interested to purchase your first Free to Air satellite system?

Learned about it here, after I found this site looking for info about dish network. I think some of Iceberg's posts about his dish farm got me interested.
