How I came to be interested in FTA satellite TV is a group of friends from work was sitting around and talking about their systems. I became curious and started asking questions. The next thing I knew I was on line and checking out FTA Satellite TV for myself. I picked a on line store and ordered my first set up, and I have not looked back since. This is an interesting, and fun hobby. Plus, I get to watch TV in the process.
I got my first Ku FTA System from 3ABN about 8 years ago, I saw Church Harder when he was on AMC 4 and thought I wonder what is on the other Satellites it was not long after I moved the dish to 97W after I saw what was there I had to have a motor!
been interested in fta a long time, and have been useing ku band for a while.

Reason to become an FTA'er
FTA breaks you out of the normal TV faire. Many nations and languages await you . If you remember the magical days of shortwave radio the growing FTA world is "shortwave with pictures." FTA allows you to escape the bonds US network and cable shows that is so often are "Hollywood-heavy" with fluff news.

What got me interested to purchase my first Free to Air satellite system?
I speak Español and was looking for more Spanish language channels. I love to travel but can't afford to with kids in college, so this is a way to experience new/foreign things without the expense of travel.

From then to now.
We travel to the real boonies , where there was only 1 TV station. With the advent of the " pizza " dish , it became practical to look to the skies for more. After finding out how much free stuff there was available , well , as they say the rest is history, In a short time , [ as a grasshopper ] I have learned much from this site , and , always had my questions , [ yes , some dumb ones ] answered . Thanks all. :up

what i would tell my friends is to use an open mind and try new things. i can honestly say my motivation for getting into FTA was simply to not have to pay my monthly $ 63.65 canadian ( $60 usa) cable bill. however i became hooked on the DIY aspect of this hobby.

I have told numerous people about FTA Satellite and SatelliteGuys support.
When I talked about it,some of their facial expressions were as if I was from Outer Space.
Almost all of them never heard of it or did not believe that Free TV was available.
I have invited them to come and take a look, after they have shown interest.

I got interested in FTA when I found Satellite Guys. I had no idea there was so much free stuff out there. I am so glad that I found SAT GUYS and am still learning but like another poster said..................I NEED ANOTHER DISH!
A friend of mine turned me on to FTA. I was amazed at the number and diversity of channels available. Since then I have been tinkering around, but due to my present financial condition over the past few years, coupled with the fact I've had to move several times I have not been able to put together a system that works. This system would be a great start for me!!!! As for what I would tell anybody about having an FTA system? It's one way of exercising our rights to control and take part in our environment without some entity telling us what we can or cannot do simply because some corporation isn't profiting from it.

I got interested
When a friend told me I had to come over to his house to see what he had just installed, I was amazed at what he had to show me. Wow! all of this TV and no bills, so I had him hook me up and learned and learned and learned. I just love my FTA, and this would make a GREAT addition to my setup as I live where there is no cable, hardly receive any over the air, so I am grateful for my FTA.

I would ask prospects How much do you pay a month for tv. They usually say about 70 bucks.
i tell them about 2 months worth will get you many free channels and no reoccurring bills.
But be prepared to spend more when you want fta both satellite and terrestrial over the air in one receiver.

I first became interested in owning an FTA system by simply stumbling across one of your competitors websites many years ago. (EITS, in case you are interested, and although they now go by a different name, not much else has changed on their site). The idea was intriguing to me, and it certainly made me want to find out what I was missing. Unfortunately, it would be another two years from when I first found out about FTA and when I could install my first system. Knowing what I know now, I would have made a bigger effort to do so sooner.
What got me interested in FTA was blacked out Lions games. I was in the black-out zone but was able to watch on 123.0W. That ship has sailed now, but that is what got me hooked on FTA.
Great prize package you guys, the best give-away i have ever seen.
I hope i win.

What got me started on FTA was the fact the Fighting Sioux Sports Network (FSSN), which has college hockey from North Dakota, is up on FTA. I really enjoy watching hockey, and have found many other programs to enjoy as well! Long live FTA!
