What is Free to Air Satellite Television?
There is a fascinating array of international channels which can be received for free with a satellite dish and receiver. All channels are broadcast in digital format, which means you get crystal clear pictures and CD quality sound on every channel. With one of these systems you can receive free TV and radio channels available from countries all over the world.
What do I need to receive these channels?
To receive free to air satellite TV and radio channels you need a dish and digital satellite receiver. There are many equipment choices available to you, with a range of quality receivers and different sized dishes (2.3m and 65 cm pictured below). Most of the channels are only available on the 2.3m mesh dish (pictured below left), though there are a number of free to air channels available that can be received with a small 65cm (pictured below right) or 90cm dish. For almost every channel available (200+) the combination of a motorized 2.3m dish and attached K-band LNBF is a common choice. Dishes can be mounted on the roof or on a post on the ground. Extra points can be cabled upon installation, allowing you to watch satellite TV in another room as well.
Receivers such as the eMTech eM-150 pictured above, when combined with a small separate positioner provide digital free to air reception and automatic dish alignment on channel change. This means all you have to do is select the channel you want to watch, everything else is automatic.
