People are using satellite TV channels and receiving signals free of cost. The common term to indicate the satellite receivers are called Free to Air satellite receiver (FTA). This FTA is used to receive the unencrypted FTA satellite transmissions.
With the help of these satellite receivers, the TV signals can be received legally without any kind of subscription. This signal is encoded into MPEG 2 video format.
By using Ultra-high frequency band and Very high-frequency bands, the encrypted FTA signals are received. The electronic storage for the data has been done with the help of a DTV compliant dish.
The installation can be completed only if the coaxial cable is connected with the dish and the FTA receiver. This contact is maintained to make a connection with the television.
But it is a complex process. Once the connections are made you can get Satellite TV for free.
How to achieve FTA
To achieve FTA, the line of sight should be cleared. Obstacles like mountains, tall buildings and trees will make an impact in achieving the line of sight.
In the case of receiving multiple satellite signals, the unobstructed view should be considered. The satellite location chart and professional satellite site surveys are used to achieve the FTA reception.
