Im totally new to FTA, and im still trying to figure out some stuff. From what i've seen, the list of available FTA channels in the US doesnt look that good, what channels are avalible appear to be things i dont want to see(i.e. local news channels from around the US). Am I missing something or is FTA truely limited to these useless channels? Im looking for things like TNT, Spike, Comedy central, you know, things worth watching. Can this be done without using money hungry companies like DTV and dish?

Generally, you will not find those kinds of channels in the clear. Occasionally they will pop up in one place or the other, but certainly not on a daily, reliable basis. You will see things in the clear that you'll never find on pay cable or satellite 
Well, for one thing, playing with the hardware is a nice hobby. Also many people who start out with an FTA box do so for a particular ( maybe ethnic programming ) purpose. There is no regular TV series on my current viewing agenda ( and I have a big DISH sub ) , just the news and sports . Occasionally, I'll catch GET SMART but not regularly . I lust for finding a good sports uplink, in HD that I can enjoy , or a newsfeed uplink with behind the scenes action that is compelling.
Oh, ok. That makes everything clear now. Im a hardware tinkerer myself, so i can relate to the hobby aspect of it. Although i dont know if the resulting outcome is worth it for me since i really have no interest in viewing the religeous and news channels avalible over FTA, but to each his own. Thank you to everyone who explained this to me.
I'm cheap and ornery. I believe that tv should be funded by commercials. The idea that I have to watch commercials AND pay a company (whatever they feel like charging me in a given month) makes me grumpy especially when I'm not going to watch most of the channels that they are charging me to watch.
Let's say I could pay $30 a month for cable or satellite. That's $360 a year.
I took that money and the bought a satellite receiver, motor and dish.
The second year I took some of that money and bought a receiver with a pvr, and the cabling required to hook my computer to my tv.
I own all my equipment. The only payment I have each month is my internet connection. I record and watch some of my favorite network shows from satellite. The rest I stream and watch over the internet from sites like Hulu. I watch what I want, when I want, for free.
Free is good.

Equity & RTN, Networks, Feeds . . .
You might search around here for other comments on Equity Broadcasting.
They are the source of a bunch of RTN channels.
If you happen to live far from regular network programming, you can pick up about half the networks on Ku-band satellite.
To get all the US networks, ya might need both Ku and C-band, but that's what some rural users do.
A lot of guys watch temporary channels, set up to carry sports from the field, to their network for distribution.
If you like any sort of sports, tell us which kinds and I'm sure someone will give you a good example of what can be found.
To get these feeds, you need a receiver with blind scanning capability (all the good receivers we'd recommend, have that).

RTN is my main reason for FTA. You would be surprised once you start turning the motor and checking out the other satellietes what is out there. I will admit 95+% of the time I am on 123w for RTN
last I checked there wasnt much on Spike, TNT etc to watch anyways
give me a sports feed or RTN anyday
give me a sports feed or RTN anyday
Uh, did he look at the list of channels for 123 w? That bird alone makes fta a very nice hobby. We don't watch it as much now that we do have a local ota fox, but before that we used WMQF all the time... now we still do watch either that or KUIL when the OTA signal goes out in bad weather... also, the news channels are nice to have... I love abc news now... just wish they didn't repeat the stories... Russia Today makes for some really interesting watching, especially now with this thing going on with the Georgia war.
Fashion TV can also be some interesting watching as can tons of other stations. Nasa may sound boring, but it's not really.
Movie-wise... some foriegn channels do do movies in English late at night a lot if you don't mind foriegn subchannels. Hispasat is especially known for that sort of thing.

I'm also new to all of this, so I'm also unclear on FTA offerings. Can I find all of the basic network programming ( nbc, cbs, abc, fox) unscrammbled? Even if on seperate birds?
In my view the whole situation with fss is out of hand. The FCC has totally lost touch with the concept of fair use of the airwaves. They ought to at least pass a law forbidding the scrambling of PBS, NASA and other subsidized content. Frankly, I they are using a big portion of our kings belt, they should also be providing network program unrestricted access.
This is part of the premise originally enforced on the terrestrial broadcaster of network television. These were going to be public airwaves and they were going to guarantee and ensure that a least a portion of the time/spectrum, was used to serve the public interest.
How is broadcast philosphically any different from what the subscription satellite broadcasters are doing?

PBS and NASA are available FTA, unscrambled on Ku-band, and more on C-band birds.
To get all the basic OTA networks in the clear, you'll have to be able to receive both Ku and C-band, as stated above.
See our own Satellite List, as well as Global-CM for more info.

the packages with c band are much cheaper then dtv or dish so if you have a big enough dish and a DSR receiver you cant go wrong, plus picture quality you wont get on the small dish providers.
also there is alot of stuff thats still free as i enjoy varsity tv some of its just stupid it can make one laugh on a bad day

FTA channels make a great supplement with paid subscriptions such as Directv and Dish Net, even with cable. Also with the digital channels available on OTA.
Also there's shows on FTA that pop up from time to time on wild feeds... That add the fun of blind searching!
I believe the FTA hobby will be BETTER as far what's available in the future! Take a look what the European countries are watching with their FTA systems! Sooner or later USA should start offering more to watch... for free!!!
AND reading forums such as this one makes interesting reading. Most of us are like family!
