Sololouis;

Welcome!

FTA is a mostly DIY hobby, lots of sound advice is available from our members, but it is not a replacement for self education. Read until your eyes bleed, then read some more. You can refer to the FAQ's as a good starting place. Think of it as ham radio for TV.

What does that mean?

Wow, you joined a year and a half ago and this is your first post. Is the receiver a Coolsat 5000? If so, there is a manual here. If not, check out the FTA Manuals section. You may find it there.

If you have specific questions, just post them and someone should be able to help.

A lot of shortwave radios are receive only, it is generally misunderstood by the public, and a lot of fun. A non-typical use of existing equipment, experiments, information sharing, see the analogy?

FTA is Very-Shortwave Listening and viewing free tv channels. Just another extension of the shortwave radio listening hobby.
