Ok I just started doing this two days ago and it works great.
All you need is :
1.a computer 2.about $30 (one time fee) 3.a dish (fount mine at a swap meet)
Ok once you have those then search online for a FTA (Free To Air) receiver. That is what gives you the free cable. What it does is pick up off of a FTA dish and converts it into video2 format. when you find one then buy it with the $30. now you have to find a dish then buy that with the leftover from the $30.
Now that you have your FTA receiver all hooked up like it should be, take the little USB flash drive and put it in your computer. second go to a FTA website and pick the channels that you want, I have 5000 but you could choose more than that. third let the website configure the USB flash drive and then pop it into the receiver, presto you have cable

If you enjoy watching educational television and news all day you let me know otherwise, but i know i dont. 0* unless you prove me otherwise "Cobra-485."
Jul 02, 2007 3:16 pm - Okay, you get free cable with a satellite dish?
This sounds more like it’s a satellite-related egg.
Well it does give better programming over my satellite egg (for those with a big dish) but to go from off-the-shelf to on-the-tv is easier said than done.
3*’s.
Jul 02, 2007 4:51 pm - Sorry about how I worded this egg, the dish that you hook up to the FTA receiver picks up off of a FTA satellite. And there are some pretty good channels, I have cartoon, ESPN, Science channel, Discovery channel, Animal planet and a bunch more.
Jul 02, 2007 10:34 pm - Obviously you don’t know to much about "Free To Air". It’s an actual, legal service provider. check out the second link it will explain it to you better than me.
Jul 04, 2007 7:31 pm - *5, i really like this, and you really did a good job with it. I don’t have cable, so i just might try this . Going to put it in my favorites so i can just come to it. Thanks
Oct 31, 2007 2:20 pm - Dang, man.
FTA, is not free Cable. It’s free Satellite.
It is perfectly legal too.
It works like a radio. It just picks up signals. You have to put it somewhere (The actual Satellite), where it’s not a real bitch to move, so you can pick everything up. I have it, and I movie it by climbing the roof from my bedroom window. The FTA Receiver, shows you where you move it, which helps.
