Can you program my
receiver with unauthorized software to get all the channels?
to reduce the amount of email we receive we felt it
necessary to answer this question which is probably the most
common question. All of our receivers come with factory
authorized firmware that has been on it since it left the
factory. We do not answer programming questions, we do not
cover your receiver under warranty if it has been flashed
with non-authorized software and we do not condone the theft
of satellite signals. We are selling our receivers for their
intended use which is to obtain Free-to-air channels which
can be viewed for free legally in Canada and the United
States. These units are not sold by us to steal signals nor
are they intended for this use by us or the manufacturers,
and once again we do not condone the theft of satellite
signals or cover your receiver under warranty if it has been
flashed with the unauthorized software.

What is
FTA (Free-to-Air)
Free-to-Air (FTA) is exactly what the name implies.Free-to-Air
systems do not require package programming; the channels are free to
view and there are no monthly programming charges. Free-to-air
channels can be broadcast in either analog or digital signals.
Currently there are hundreds of freely available channels many of
which are international language channels; many others are special
interests channels broadcast in English.
FTA-Satellite.com mainly focuses on selling and supporting digital
systems. All the systems that we offer are DVB (Digital Video
Broadcast) compliant. MPEG-II compression is used to transfer the
signals from the satellite down to your receiver.
Providing that you have the right tools and some mechanical ability
all of these systems are relatively easy to install.
FTA-Satellite.com can also help you save money by doing your own
installation. We offer step by step guides, support forums and
photos to help get you started.

KU Band
and C-Band
Free-to-air satellite signals come in two types; Ku-Band (small
dish), and C-Band (large dish). Many of the international channels
available in North America are broadcast in Ku on the Telstar 5
satellite. But others are available.
Ku-Band systems consist of a satellite receiver and a remote control
as well as a dish that only points to one satellite. If you find
that you need to look at more than one KU-band satellite you may
want to purchase a rotor system which moves the dish to point at
many satellites.
If you find yourself wanting to watch a channel broadcast on a
C-Band satellite (six foot dish) you will have to stay tuned as we
currently do not support C-Band satellite equipment.

Reasons buy from FTAdiy.com
We believe that there are many reasons
for choosing FTAdiy.com. Listed below
are some of the most prevalent, ones
which we feel will help you understand
why FTAdiy.com is committed to more of your needs
than any other retailer.
- Your order is shipped
within 24 hours or the next
business day, and is in
stock when shipped. Our
newly designed stocking
system ensures that an item
is marked out of stock as
soon as the units run out.
That way, we can guarantee
almost 99% of the time that
the item you bought is
currently in stock. If for
some reason your order is
not in stock we will
immediately notify you
through email and offer you
either a full refund or
credit.
- We do not drop ship like
many of our competitors. In
order to get you the best
price and service we stock
our own products. We believe
that this competitive
advantage is what most
smaller businesses do not
have. In the time that we've
been around we've been able
to strengthen bonds with
many of our suppliers and
so, we are able to get
preferential pricing and
stock in order to serve you
better.
- Every single item we
sell is 100% brand new. We
do not stoop to low levels
like some other dealers and
sell used dishes and in
worse cases used receivers.
Our products are factory
sealed in the box that the
factory packed them in.

personal information
private, we will never sell
any of your information to
anyone, and the transaction
is completed without any
storage of credit card
details in our database. The
credit card payment is
processed in real time
unlike some other dealers
who obtain your credit card
number and store it in their
database for who knows how
long and than are free to
charge any amount to it they
wish at any time.
- To us customer service
and competitive pricing are
the most important assets we
believe we can have. We
always attempt to answer
emails within 24 hours, even
on weekends, and we always
