Free to air channels are very fun to have,though not many of them are premiums and such,there still very interesting and enjoyable to have.These FTA channels remain up at all times and are not attacked by ecm’s as These channels are not encrypted.

A great starting point is 123w-G10r.

This bird requires a minimum of a 30″ dish.(depending on your location,it may be larger).

This can be determined here:

Use the map to get your DBW strength,and the corresponding chart to the right to determine the dish size required.

You will also need a linear lnb.

To emulate or too imitate/copy/act as the cards used in subscribed receivers.If this can be done 100% I can’t think of what they could do at that point that would affect only fta receivers.
But I’m no coder.Perhaps bins never can 100% fully emu a subbed card.I only say this because it hasn’t been done yet,so until then its unknown.

And how much flash rom size does it take to have full emu?
We will just have to wait and see.
But if it did,your fta receiver would not see keys roll anymore I don’t think as it would just think it was a subscribed card.

BUT then is the next question.If this 100% full emu does happen,will the providers then do a card swap?
Can they afford it?
What would stop coders from making a new full emu (with time of course) of the next card?
Time will tell.

Its fun to watch how it plays out,how,if,when coders will do the full emu.

1.A dish 500 pointed at 119/110

2.A dish 500 pointed at 91/82

3.A 30″(minimum,and depending where you live) dish with a linear lnb.point it at 123w G10-r.this bird has many Free To Air English channels.many RTN (retro tv network)for older shows.but many newer ones also.and even movies during the weekend.primarily all best shows are on during prime time. Its fairly basic.and about 16 English channels.but worth having for some completely free tv that never goes down.between this and your pvr recordings,the down times will be MUCH less of a bother to you.

4.A well supported basic receiver.

5.A well supported receiver made by someone else from that of the first receiver.this one should have pvr function. and you should use it ALLOT.

6.A switch/switches to combine them all,so the receiver can view all channels simply by changing them in the guide.

7.a dvd burner to make a hard copy of your pvr recordings.

8.Full vip membership to abadss.com

This is very affordable,and insures you will not run into harmful files you see on some,but not all of course,other sites.Protect your investment.Well worth the small membership fees.A large site with great moderators who will treat you will respect.But will not let the children run lose to waste your time while your leaning either.The owner is a class act,and set’s the forum up nicely for his mods to keep organized so you can find everything quickly.If you haven’t stopped by,please drop in and say hello.

But 3 dishes! that will not work where i am,i have no place to hide that dish farm!

Not to worry,get yourself a good sized dish like 34″-36″ with a motor and invacom lnb.

This is best for even more channels,and cleaner looking.But will have to wait for channel changes as the dish turns to correct bird channel is on.

follow this list as closely as you can afford and your new hobby will be very enjoyable.
