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?
You may own a LCD or Plasma or LED TV and now you want the best Quality programming. There's a few Free channels on C-Band however this requires a very big dish. Ku Band doesn't offer many HD channels. The Best option is OTA over the air antenna and certain area's are able to receive up to 35 free 1080i channels. We carry a variety of HD free to air receivers and most of them have built in ATSC tuner for OTA HD. Check out our free to air High Definition receivers section for the latest brands.

Which Receiver gets the most channels?
