To Enter: Tell everyone how you first learned about Free To Air Satellite Television and Radio.
I learned about Free To Air Satellite Television and Radio on the Internet. The best guess is: I was looking on eBay and the Internet for TV tuner/capture cards for use with a PC. Then, I discovered DVB PCI cards.
Then, when I searched around for information on this new PC accessory, I saw a reference about "free-to-air digital satellite TV". What is that?
I don't do cable TV. No matter where I lived, somehow the cable companies found a way to p!55 me off. I bought a E* system and installed it myself years ago. Even though I had everything except for movie channels (AT250), often there was still nothing on. This free-to-air satellite sounded like a low cost way to get access to more programming.
I imagine I learned about Sat Guys from a web search. This site was a plus because I could learn about E* and FTA. The eye-patch sites seemed too much like warez sites. Between having the fear of getting a virus from them and hearing about the legal trouble D* pirates got into, getting pay TV for "free" just didn't seem too smart...
