For anyone far from home who craves the sound of their native tongue or news from home, FTA is the perfect solution for curing your homesickness. FTA is the acronym for “Free to Air” satellite TV programming. This super service is absolutely free satellite TV programming from all over the world. Completely free programming is available to anyone with the appropriate reception equipment. FTA has no contracts, no programming packages, and no subscriptions as opposed to satellite programs where you pay for everything you view. Rest assured that you are not pirating, FTA is totally legitimate and 100% legal.

The enabling factor that makes FTA a reality is the huge numbers of satellites floating around in space receiving unencrypted programming signals broadcast from all over the globe. These satellites rebroadcast the signals intact in their unencrypted form over North America. Unencrypted signals are not controlled by any programming service. Satellite service companies are able to charge you for their programming because their satellites broadcast encrypted signals. It is necessary for the signals to be decoded by the satellite service so that you may view the programming. For this service, you pay a subscription fee. FTA is free because of unencrypted signals that may be received with the correct receiving system. The only cost associated with FTA is the cost of your equipment.

Two types of systems are available at very affordable prices to enable you to make use of FTA. If you only intend to view programming from one particular satellite, a stationary system will suffice for your needs. This system locks in on one satellite allowing viewing of only that satellite’s programming. For around $130 you can buy a complete, ready to install stationary system.

The other type of system is a rotor or motorized system that allows you to browse from satellite to satellite with your remote. For between $200-$430, you can purchase a ready to install total package that enables you to switch satellites at the touch of your finger. Little differentiates these systems; all are quality systems guaranteed to receive signals from multiple satellites and deliver all the clear, crisp HDTV viewing you can handle. The higher end prices are for systems that function with Ethernet capability, games and other entertainment features. Internet access allows you to continually update your system to ensure state of the art status.

Currently there are over forty foreign languages found on FTA. The list of channels grows constantly and may be easily accessed on many online websites. Many English language channels are available on FTA in addition to the hordes of foreign language stations. The preponderance of English language programming is special interest and informational such as religion, political and PBS channels.

As you can see, FTA is a wonderful way to keep your finger on the pulse of your native land at no cost. For those homesick for the sounds and sights of home, FTA is the perfect way to stay in touch without spending any money.
