Tracking any satellite channel/ position is location and Dish size dependent. However, irrespective of your location and dish size, “footprint and the satellite beam plays the most important role” that is why the bigest dish for personal use cannot get Hotbird 13e signal in Uganda while 2.6meter dish and above can receive it in Nigeria. This article is all about FTA channels. When I say fta channels, I mean those channels you can open with a total fta decoder like strong. I mean those channels that have no encryption sign($), I mean those channels that you can open merely by tracking them with a compatible dish and scanning them on your respective decoders. Finally, I mean those channels that are currently opening even though they may go off tomorrow.
WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS TO GETTING FTA CHANNELS
You need a skilled local satellite installer or if you want to do it yourself, you must have been familiar with the simple installation terms and their interpretation. Newbies can read this.
Then you need the right size of dish for this process. The standard size starts from 60cm up to 500cmcm or even more. For you not to go too low, you need to predetermine the size needed by following my guide here.
Finally, you need an FTA Minimum of MPeg-4 decoder. I recommend an HD decoder even if it is not full HD. Do not go below an mpeg-4 decoder if you cannot afford a HD decoder. example of a pure FTA HD is strong 4920 and newer, There are other FTA and HD decoders out there too numerous to count. for example, Tlink,superesat, freesat, openbox, dreambox, gsky, alphabox and the likes. Mind you, the mytv branded strong 4940 hd decoder is not fta. You can’t also convert and company-customized decoder into fta.
SOME WONDERFUL FTA SATELLITE POSITIONS AND FREQUENCIES WHERE YOU CAN ENJOY GREAT PROGRAMS INCLUDING SOCCER
Before paytv became affordable in developing countries, we all watch important programs and sporting events on out local tv channels. Well, there are still some local channels the world over that still air live channels e.g, tvs, evasion gtv, and many others. The only frustration here is that all the best fta channels are not located on a particular satellite position. http://www.lemmymorgan.com/big-satellite-dishes-this-is-why-you-need-them-if-you-can-afford-them/This is where multiple small dish or a big motorized dish comes into play. Without mincing words, going into fta from a paytv can be frustrating but once you are used to it, you will never regret it. However, you must find the time for it otherwise, stay put on your paytv.
