FTA basics

[darobster1]

what's the best source to learn more about FTA systems? Directv charges an arm and leg for int'l. programming. I am looking for a good alternative.

Read the posts in this forum from people who've asked pretty much the same question in the last 30..60 days.

And take a look at this list of foreign language programming.
If you want something you don't see, it might be available, but it's doubtful.
Tell us more what you are trying to find.

I see the above web site has aguide available. I wonder how it differs from Titan TV?

 

[Mr Tony]

it doesnt have a guide...just shows what shows are available on FTA

 

[iafirebuff]

Hmmm.....they say they charge a subscription for it

seems like it's not accurate... I can't say I've ever seen classic arts showcase as fta on 93w

It is old. When I glance at it yesterday, I noticed the Pentagon channel on G10. It hasn't been available on G10 for quite a while now. And Classic Arts Showcase used to be FTA somewhere, it probably was on IA6, so I won't argue it on 93.0w. Like you say mastermesh, this is definately an old source!
