HyperMegaSat.com Online Store is Closing!

Hello everyone. It is with a sad heart that i am announcing that we will be closing the HyperMegaSat.com online store (website) in the next couple of days. We have had the HyperMegaSat.com website serving FTA hobbyists and enthusiasts for over 18 years (since 2006). Over that time we have served many, many customers, with many different products, from many different brands. And have made quite a few good friends along the way. Unfortunately, here in Jan 2025, our sales are down just too low to justify the costs of keeping the store open. It is a problem for FTA equipment sales in North America in general, as i am sure most of you know. We could discuss all the contributing factors, but i wont bore you here. I do miss the glory days of just 5-10 years ago. Our sale were great, i ran not only the HyperMegaSat.com store, but also a great support forum LegalFreeToAir (RIP), and also a Worldwide Satellite Channel Database SatHint (RIP). These last 2 sites were shutdown over the last few years and now HyperMegaSat.com is the last to go.

I want to say THANK YOU to all of our customers and supporters over the years. You helped me to support my family, and i learned so much from my customers along the way too. When i first started this i was a young wide-eyed FTA rookie who was just looking for a way to watch the Detroit Lions game one day (they used to black-out the tv broadcast if they did not sell out). I found my answer on-line. Ku Band FTA. WOOD TV was ITC on what i think was G18 at the time? And they carried the Lions game since they were out of the black-out zone. I ordered the equipment, got the channel and next thing i know i was so hooked i decided to learn more and open a business. And the rest is history.

Anyways, this is NOT the end of HyperMegaSat. We will continue to provide FTA Equipment for our loyal customers on Ebay and Amazon. Truth be told, a big reason for the low numbers at the HyperMegaSat.com store is a lot of customers prefer to buy at those places. We always tried to combat that with lower prices for our customers at our store by saving on the Ebay and Amazon fees, but alas, it only worked so well. Everything we sell at HyperMegaSat is available at our Ebay store, and a whole lot more other non-FTA stuff. At Amazon we only have FTA stuff, and only select items. We plan to add more FTA items soon to Amazon.

That is it. Thanks again to our customers for ALL THE GREAT YEARS.

And the HyperMegaSat.com store will be open for a few days yet.

I think you mean WMQF which was the FOX affiliate in Marquette, Michigan and had the Lions game, I remember those games back in the day and actually was able to record the game which left the Lions at 0-16 from that feed as the Vikings were on our local FOX here in Minnesota. Here was G18 (formerly G10 for us old school folks) list of Equity stations that we could get FTA :) back in 2006 and the Marquette FOX station was channel 4 in the group (on 11800)
(good golly I remember FTA when I had my house and I haven't lived there for 15 years)
