FTA Satellite Receiver Types
Free-to-Air (FTA) satellite TV receivers are designed to receive unencrypted Free To Air satellite transmissions. FTA satellite receivers can decode the MPEG-2 data compression protocol used in most Free to Air satellite transmissions.
Evaluating Receiver Brands
Free-to-Air receivers are an investment, it is important to choose a brand-name receiver that is manufactured and supported by a reliable manufacturer.
Do not fall into the Clone Trap. A clone will not save you more than twenty dollars. You will never find a clone receiver whose quality equals that of the unit it purports to emulate.
