I got interested in FTA truely for the wild feeds. It's really amazing to find tons of different feeds. you never know what will pop up. Plus it's a great way to compliment any paid tv package or just go OTA and FTA!

What a fine bunch of prizes for the lucky winner. Never seen anything like it. I got into FTA in early 2006, when we switched our sat provider from DirectV to Dish Network ( my wife and her PVR are inseparable).

The Dish network installer took one look at all my electronics ( many computers, printers, hubs , routers, etc ) lying around the basement and suggested that I'd be interested in FTA . Lots of gadgets, he said. Well, he was right, and I've acquired lots of gadgets, dishes , receivers, since. It's a great hobby, with some great TV viewing as a reward.

Send those goodies my way, eh eh!

I got interested in FTA through a friend who is not too techy. After setting him up with lots of research found out the hunt was better than the viewing and I never look back.

I would tell a friend or co-worker to interest them in owning a Free To Air satellite system, that there is a lot of free programming available, FTA is the way to go. And that the costs for cable and DTV/Dish are way to much.

What got me interested to purchase my first Free to Air satellite system?

Well i used to have a BUD. Had been a Dish Sub for several years at this
location (Still am). I had never tried KU band and as a Amateur Radio Op
and avid SWL, I wanted to check it out. A little googling and ending up
here at Satelliteguys and I'm hooked!

I got into FTA back in the 90"s after the cable got so bad the rate jump and I love the freedom it brings..

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

Living in the sticks no cable due to 2 few houses on the road, and no high speed internet due to same reason, bell and star choice poor package minimum selection, had to pay top dollar for what i wanted to watch, so heard about FTA and spent next 6 months trying to get a hit on a sat, rest is history now have 6 FTA receivers and 6 dishes from 30" upto 1.2 Meters and growing.

I was one of the original "FTA" folks way back in the day. My interest spawned from the lack of TV we had growing up..........one channel! That combined with my love of electronics made C-Band a natural choice way back in the late eighties when I was 18 or so. Fast forward to a few years ago after watching channel after channel dropping off of C-Band analog and digital FTA made a lot of sense to me..........still does!

This contest, like this website, is truly second to none! As always a first class operation from the staff, the members and all the wonderful sponsors! Keep it up!

I got interested in FTA when Sky Angel was about to go dark. My brother gave me a DirecPC dish which I installed myself and pointed it to G10R for RTN. I'm glad 123W was there because that one satellite really hooked me. Now 3 dishes up with more in the basement just waiting for spring.

Thanks again for the great sponsers we have here!
