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

I migrated from c-band, is how I got interested enough to go with free to air. Well maybe not migrated, but added to what I already had. Biggest reason was that so many of the analog channels were falling like flies there soon was nothing much left to keep me busy with analog. All the pay channels left, I lived without 'em. But when the newsfeeds started disappearing I had to 'go digital' too. And of course the sports feeds switched early from analog. I waited quite a while to finally buy that first receiver because I'd heard it was really complicated to understand. But I figured it out with the help of this forum and some really nice, patient members. Now I wish I had added free to air much sooner!

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

Common this is a no brainer. Who in there right mind would be willing to shell out $100 plus dollars on a monthly bill for an extended period when you can get the same content for free. Thats why I decided to swithed to FTA. Free to air is the best invention since slice bread & butter. Oh by the way did I mention there were no monthly bills. Plus you wont have to lose & arm and a leg like I did paying for my cable service. The initial investment is minimal compare to the years of pleasure you will be providing for your entire family. You will be glad you switched top FTA. You'll love it and your family will love you even more. Free to Air Satellites The best invention since Armstong stepped on the Moon. Here'what you need to do , just call the guys @ WS International @1-888-276-6436 or Satelliet AV @ 888-483-4673 & they'll hook you up. You know what I'll even dial the number for you....... Here its already ringing. Hello..... yes I would like to order a system for my friend, we have decided these monthly fee for cable will be no more. I'll let you talk to him just tell him what he needs.

I like the idea of watching many channels without a monthly fee

I got interested in fta after i dumped comcast and got dish. I found this site, and after alot of reading and asking questions, and the help i got from the great people on this site, i installed my "first" 39" fortec. The farm has really grown, and keeps getting bigger I've told a few of my friends about fta and helped them install their systems. Their all hooked just like me

I got interested in what I saw in the channel lists online.
A ton of older and foreign stuff that I would never seen on cable, Dish Network, and DirecTV unless I wanted to fork out big bucks for a channel I only wanted a cursory look at, for the moment.

Cable, DirecTV and Dish Network DON'T provide the value I get with Free-To-Air

At the Cost of Equipment, I get a Place to Explore and Good TV channels that I can hold to standards. Not what someone else decides for me.

"What would you tell a friend or co-worker to interest them in owning a Free To Air satellite system? What got you interested to purchase your first Free to Air satellite system?"

Well, I guess my answer to the second question would be my sales pitch in response to the first question.

I first became aware of "FTA" (which for me means ANYTHING, analog or digital, that is available via satellite ITC, or "In The Clear") in the 1980s, when I was visiting the master control room of a local television station. The Pan Am 103 bombing had just taken place, and the chief engineer (who is a friend of mine) was recording raw feeds from a C-Band satellite. It was at that moment that I knew I wanted a satellite system. I didn't get my wish until 2005, when I set up my first functional dish and receiver.

Since raw feeds inspired my interest in FTA, I would use feeds and "The Unexpected" as a sales pitch to anyone potentially interested in purchasing FTA gear.

I would tell a friend that there are many Christian channels free of charge available via satellite. Since Sky Angel is only available via IPTV, it is expensive to view Christian channels by paying for broadband internet plus the subscription fee for Sky Angel. Buy the equipment once and you can watch for free!

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

I was interested in expanding the very limited channel line-up I get with OTA, FTA seemed like a good choice instead of getting cable.

Started with just a starchoice dish pointed at 91w & 101w but after getting a taste of what was available a motor was quickly added.

Winning this package would definitely help a lot!

I've been wanting FTA for awhile now, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I think mostly out of boredom, I've been through direct, dish, and charter, I'm interested to see what else is out there and what does it really cost to have a decent channel selection with FTA.

This is a great prize!!!
