Satellite Receivers

On many places on the globe encrypted Free to Air (FTA) satellite channels can be received on UHF and VHF channels. You can receive Free to Air satellite signals legally free of charge.

An FTA Satellite Receiver is a receiver which has the potential to receive unencrypted FTA (Free to Air) satellite transmissions. It is equipped to decode the data compression protocol which is used in most Free to Air satellite transmissions.

Sometimes you can watch FTA satellite on your computer, and this is possible when some FTA Satellite Receivers are PC-based. Some receivers have a Personal Video Recorder with dual tuners so that you can view and record two different channels. The interface is generally PIG/PIP and has an S-Video output. A Blind Search Power Scan is also available in some receivers through which you can find all the channels transmitted by a satellite.

There is always an On Screen Display by which you can move, delete or rename channels. With the FTA Satellite Receiver you also need a satellite dish, an LNB and an antenna motor if you want to receive channels from more than one satellite.

There are High Definition FTA Satellite receivers and it is important to check out which High Definition FTA Satellite receiver will be the most suitable for you. The first requirement is a HD TV set having a HD TV Tuner if you want to watch high picture quality on your TV.

Next comes the satellite dish which can receive HD channels, and once you have pointed the satellite dish at a satellite with HD channels, the next requirement is a HD FTA Satellite receiver.

Some of the popular FTA Satellite Receiver brands available in the market are Pansat, Dreambox and Sonicview. The websites of each company will provide you the detailed information of its Digital satellite receiver, the accessories which you need with it and how to install it.

So actually watching FTA channels is like watching your local cable channel, which can be received when you tune your television. Take care when you are buying digital satellite descramblers, because by using illegal software it is possible to modify some FTA Satellite Receivers into digital satellite descramblers.

The range covered can be up to 52 different satellites. All local channels and foreign channels can be received including movie channels, adult channels, sports and music channels. Some Receiver companies have forums on their websites, where they answer questions, give tips and show you some tricks so that you can get the most from the FTA Satellite Receiver.
