I saw it on an assess card in a fta reciever. was told it was a pay chanel
anyone know what sat it is off?
Do all FTA recievers have card slots?
are there other KU (linear - 75cm dish) channels you can buy.
Are there KU program providers in the usa? (non dbs)_

Dish Network has a few international channels that can be purchased without purchasing the entire package, running off the 121W sat which is a standard KU Signal. However you will have to use a Dish Network receiver to receive them.

and to answer your question, NO, not all receivers have CAM or card slots.

Here is the list of all the FTA channels from Thailand.

iptv or thaitv is a sub channel service
this is not dish network (or related)
customer said he had FTA also, but paid for the iptv service as well
I found more info at www.instalers.thaitv.tv -this site is in english
iptv brings up all sorts of things on google, things like on demand video distrubution via the internet, wifi and satellite.

IA5 looks like the big FTA bird, i am just suprised you can buy some channels alla carte through other providers. imagine if HBO did something like this-and priced it below D* or E*- or am I dreaming

They already do, but you need a c-band dish and an analogue or 4dtv receiver..
