Free Digital Satellite TV

Entertainment has taken leaps and bounds in the last couple of decades. Be it audio or video entertainment, things have changed rather drastically in the field of entertainment and believe it or not, a rapid change in technology is the only reason behind this phenomenon. With the advent of high definition picture quality, modern picture screens are able to display millions of pixels to provide what can be best described as an extravaganza of colors. While there has been a noticeable change in video entertainment, audio entertainment is not far behind. With a gradual shift from music cassettes to music CDs/DVDs and now to the new age Mp3 format, listening to music is not as fussy as it once used to be.

Television has always been the poster boy of entertainment industry and if there is a change in audio or video entertainment, our idiot box will never stay behind. A perfect amalgamation of audio and video technologies, television is what defines entertainment for many households. As the world is going through a technological makeover, television viewing also got its share of the pie in the form of digital satellite TV. Promising crystal clear picture quality and never before heard multi channel sound effects, digital TV took the world by storm from its launch itself. Although being better in every aspect as compared to our age old analog TV reception, digital TV still faces a tough battle because the higher cost it comes along with.

If you are someone who wants to enjoy the beauty of digital TV but is reluctant to pay for paid TV channels, FTA or free to air TV channels are made just for you! This article will give you a brief on the different things you will need in order to have a FTA TV viewing experience. The best and the only way to get free digital satellite TV without breaking the law, FTA channels do not only provide entertainment free of cost, some FTA channels even do it far better than their paid counterparts.

Before we can see the requirements of getting FTA channels on your TV, let’s see what FTA channels really are. We receive TV channels in the form of TV signals that are sent from the TV station and received by our TV satellite. While every TV channel signal comes in an encrypted form and requires our satellite receiver to decrypt it before sending it to our TV screen, there are other TV channel signals that come unencrypted. These unencrypted TV channels are what we call FTA channels. Now let’s have a look at the various requirements for getting FTA channels on your TV:

• Satellite Dish: The first and foremost equipment to receive TV signals, no digital satellite TV can work without this. While buying a satellite dish, make it a point to buy the one with diameter of at least 90cm or 1 meter.
• Low Noise Block Converter: Works like a middleman to convert signals to TV useable form.
• Rotor: Used to rotate the satellite dish for receiving FTA channels from different sources.
• Signal Receiver: These receivers are used to receive FTA signals.
• Cabling: For connecting everything together!
