[A/S] FTA......Free to Air

["Lee Fields" <leefields@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

some of you guys are technically advanced enough to handle this idea.....
 
do a google search "Free to Air" the idea is that satalites transmit the
channels over government freqs 
and you pay directtv for a reciever to recieve the signal....while there are
recievers made now that recieve the signal without paying money to direct tv
or anyone else....
they are called Free to Air recievers...the idea is you dial in a satalite
just like you would a radio.....
 
on ebay do a Free to Air or FTA reciever search....
 
the website i like is    www.dssrookie.com
 
i have 295 tv channels and 160 music channels....of the ecostar 119 satalite
at 241w  //  37 el.
 
the best reciever currently made is the Viewsat 2000 Platinum...about 150.00
on ebay....
 
no cards to have chipped or anything....just plug it in....do a software
upgrade....turn your satalite dish a little...channel scan....and there you
go....
 
an dish with 2 LNB's will pick up both the ecostar 110 and the ecostar 119
satalites and give you close to 600 channels of tv...
 
all the payperviews...all the sports....all the outdoor channels...all the
news channels...all the movie channles......
 
and no monthly bills.....while you are moving the airstream take your dish
and reciever with you....
 
ok....just a thought .....do with it as you wish...
