I got my first FTA in the early 80s. Used for several years and now is the time to update it!!!

That is a very good prize. I have been interested in FTA since I was a kid and my uncle got his bud in the early 80's because he could not get cable where he lived. Move ahead about twenty years and I finally moved to the country in 2005. I have two Ku dishes (1 motor, 1 fixed) and a C-band dish (Ghetto moved) installed. I am very interested in all the feeds. I love the feeds and am scanning them about every night. Love the sporting event feeds, news feeds, concerts and live events. I don't know if it is more fun watching them or finding them.

I got interested in FTA when i heard you could get 500 DishNetwork channels for free.

. Just kidding. Actually, i heard there was some good stuff on G10 long ago. So i had to get it.

I got interest in FTA through this site. I do not have an FTA set up at this time, but I would think the interest in different types of programming would hook just about anyone I know.

Got interested in FTA when Carrier Air Conditioning sent my job to Monterrey, Mexico and I had less money and more time.

I've had a a big dish forever, but now am TOTALLY amazed at the huge number of channels that are up in the air FREE for the viewing.

Anyone that has a little money, and some time should get involved. Especially old Ham Operators!!

Thanks, John

I started loving FTA after Moving to Haiti and the only way to get tv was to install and point a dish.

This contest sure has drawn a crowd in short order!
Heck, there's enough goodies to make several fine contests!

What would I tell someone to get them into FTA?

For anyone living outside the
top 30 DMAs

, I suspect FTA is mandatory.
I'm in the #2 market, so much of the better FTA is available OTA, here.
We even had The Tube, back in the day.

There is a rich collection of programming available, and it just gives more viewing choices.
That's true, regardless of whether you like feeds, news, dedicated programming, or non-English entertainment! -

My personal heritage is distantly German, but I like small doses of Japanese drama.

What got me interested?

Well, the technical group here was quite a valuable draw.
There was lots to learn, and fun things to experiment with.
I was already reading the DishNetwork forum, so it was a natural progression.

I became interested in FTA orginally for the news feeds and NASA and tell friends about the same things.

My wife is from Asia - she was always wishing she could watch tv shows in her native language. As result, I stumbled onto this website while trying to find a DirecTv or Dishnet international channel on the internet.
