I'm in a quest to find a very inexpensive way to get rid of my cable service provider, and was wondering what kind of channels the Geosat Pro M1 FTA receiver will provide. I found it on ebay, and wanted to know if I can post the live link for others to give me their opinions.

Its just a MicroHD receiver (which I still consider the best FTA receiver on the market today) and a KU DISH.

Check out http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist for the channels you can pick up with it.

Welcome to Satellite Guys! Follow this link to the Excel file in order to see the channels available on 97W Ku-band (should you decide on the dish and receiver setup).

Scott, thank you for the help. I'm very new to FTA. I clicked on your link, and I see a bunch of different satellites. Which satellites are the ones you were referring to?

Calloway, if you are trying to replace a "paid" tv method with FTA and/or other devices (internet), a far better way to think of it is this: "What channels or tv shows MUST I (and wife if you have one, as she needs to be happy with the decision also) have, or be able to receive"?

Once you have those written down on a notepad, you can start your search for the methods that can best provide that for you. FTA satellite is good, but it can't replace most of the paid for cable-type channels for content all by itself.
