In order to receive transmissions that are decoded using MPEG 2 data compression, you need an FTA Satellite Receiver. They allow you to watch free to air programming on your television. You don’t need to buy a package from a satellite TV provider for this. Keep in mind that FTA programming doesn’t give you the channels that you get through a company like Dish Network or Direct TV.

Here are the 6 easy steps:

Step 1 – Locate Retailer

The first thing you need to do is locate retailers that sell FTA satellite receivers. Check out available options at electronic stores. If they don’t sell them, they can often provide you with a list of retailers who do sell them. Don’t hesitate to ask!

Step 2 – Compare The Manufacturers

The satellite receiver market is growing constantly and always cluttered with lots of models from lots of different brands. Get an overview of what’s up to date at the moment. I like to ask for a list of 3-5 of the most popular models when buying any electronic gadgets.

Step 3 – Compare The Features

Now that you have boiled it down to just a few models, you can compare them more easily. Many devices have a lot of options for guide displays, zooming and video recording..

Step 4 – Check For Compatibility

Write down exactly what you already have and intend to buy and then check if all of that stuff is compatible! For example, if you choose to watch satellite TV on your computer, check if the FTA satellite receiver supports this.

Step 5 – Check Warranty and Return Policy

This should go without saying – every time you buy electronics.

Step 6 – Purchase All The Necessary Equipment

Now you have a good idea of what you want and need to make the FTA satellite receiver work. Make sure you get a good satellite dish complete with installation hardware. Also, don’t forget the low noise block (LNB) to improve reception.
