- Are there any Dish Network or DirecTV channels that are FTA?
Almost all of the channels provided by these companies are NOT FTA. The channels are encrypted and require an authorized receiver and monthly subscription.

- Can I use an FTA receiver to receive premium channels from Dish Network or DirecTV?
Absolutely not. These channels require subscription and special receivers supplied by the service provider only. Any tampering with your FTA receiver (whether by hardware or software modification) to try to receive the premium channels without paying is not only a violation of the law and unethical, but also will void the warrantee on your receiver and may hinder it unusable. We do not support or condone piracy of signal. Don't even inquire about it.

- Can I use my existing 18" dish (Directv or DN dishes) to receive FTA?
No. All FTA channels are available on satellites with much weaker signal than DSS. The minimum size dish required is 30". Also, FTA and DBS / DSS satellites require different type of LNBs.

- Which FTA receiver has the Best Picture Quality?
Our customers always comment how great the Sonicview SV-1000 & Extremeview Magnum picture quality. Not all Component video receivers will give you the best picture quality, for instance the Viewsat VS2000 Extreme s-video and component video are no different which for some is a disappointment. Our tests show the Sonicview SV-1000 has the best picture quality when using component video.

- Which FTA Receiver has the Best Support?
From the Original Viewsat VS2000 to the New Viewsat Ultra this company has
been the front runner for ease of use and nice OSD (on screen display). I must
add Sonicview Product line is quickly becoming known for its ease of use and its
outstanding GUI. What we like about Sonicview thus far is there ability to give
the customers what they want. For example: many people who purchase the
Sonicview PVR-1000 requested USB support for 1.1 not just 2.0. 1 week later
sonicview released a new loader to support both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0, they also
released support for USB Jump drive at the sametime. We cant wait to see what
Sonicview will do next!!!! Whether you go with Viewsat or Sonicview your getting
a quality supported product.
