Free Satellite Television
May 14, 2009 | 2 Comments 
If you’re one of the many former HomeSat subscribers now wondering what to do with your satellite receiver, you could start using it to watch FTA (free-to-air) satellite programming. You won’t have the wide selection that’s available on DirecTV, Dish, cable or Fios. But FTA programming is all over the sky in many different languages. If you have a particular interest, you may find a cluster of what you want on one satellite. For certain, you could pick a favorite channel and just point to it.
If you’re a news junkie, ABC NewsNow is on Galaxy 28, CNN is on Galaxy 16, and Fox News is on Telstar 12. Keep in mind that you would either need to pick one satellite, have an arc of LNBs for close adjacent satellites, or a way to easily repoint your dish to move from one satellite to another. All satellites are not visible from all locations.
