1st sat system from a display model from a store converting to the spa business from satellite in Peoria Arizona on grand ave. Lived in Glendale. Ran home from GCC after college on Oct 4 1988. They were coming to install the dish. My dad found the dealer as a sales guy working at Glendale Star. I had 4 payments to make monthly of $150. Dish stuff was going in my room at age 19. 10 ft dish. 100 degree lnb. cband only. Receivers were from echosphere before echostar. Motor was separate box from the dial tuner receiver. Buttons were broken on the motor. I had to type in w5 s1 and put a pin in whole to get themotor to move.
1st program I saw was Dr gene Scott on westar 5. Satellite installerss said he was crazy. MLB playoffs were on but remember 1988 was the year baseball demanded backhaul scrambling but the rsns were not. Most of them not until 1989 1990. NESN was the last one.

Bought my first FTA receiver in 2005. It was a Pansat 2500A I had been reading many documents on free to air and was surprised to learn there was so much available up there. Started with an old 36" satellite dish already on the roof left behind by the previous owner. After many, many FTA alternatives tried and learned I am now slowly reducing all the number of dishes...
installed my laux beta 9 foot back in 2009 and have been enjoying since!!! mainly because I was interested in 4dtv, than motorola pulled the multi sat plug
Before that I had a KU only 30 inch for wild feeds (about 2007)

Did not even tried to participate, but that was interesting to read so different stories of users how they got to FTA. Sorry for this, but I do not understand what is real FTA means. If I have receiver which can receive FTA and also pay-channels (after card is inserted), can I count it as FTA system?
And, congratulations to winner!
