Hi, nice forum.
I'm stupid to all this stuff.
From my condo I can see the sky from about 148 degrees and to the east.
Very nice to be a FTA'er on the East coast , if you truly have no line of sight issues you can get alot of neat channels.
What receiver and dish would I need? Where would I get it?
I like the 36 inch dish , best bang for the buck unless you can pickup something bigger for cheaper , several sponsors here have nice receivers at a good price , the Fortec Mercury II is recommended among others.
What is there FTA that I might want?
Well whenever I'm approached by a salesperson who asks "Can I help you" I usually don't say , help me find something I like.
Everyone is so different that what one person may like viewing may not be the other persons cup of tea.
Have you ever listened to Shortwave radio and been fascinated by it , if you liked it you might like FTA.
Do you like syndicated Clasic TV Shows like Get Smart , Mission Impossible , and Gomer Pyle to name a few ? If you do you might like FTA.
Do you like watching 1st run movies ?, ( yes you can find them from time to time , but shhhhhh ) If you do you might like FTA.
Do you think that you might like watching a news anchor doing something out of the ordinary that no regular viewer could see ?
Then you might like FTA.
That's just naming a few of the neat things available FTA.
