Welcome to the world of FTA or Free to Air Satellite Television.....

MPEG-2 is a worldwide satellite transmission standard for digital broadcasting. It is the future with 8 or even 10 video signals able to occupy the same space as one channel of analog transmission. And just as some analog signals can be scrambled for subscription use, digital channels can be transmitted either scrambled or in-the-clear. In-The-Clear is known in the digital TV world as FTA or Free-To-Air. There are literally hundreds of Free Channels Available to North Americans for Viewing. National public broadcasters have adopted MPEG-2 as a cost-effective way to distribute their signals on limited budgets.

The North American FTA industry has been dominated by the Viewsat® Ultra, and the new Viewsat® HD MAX and Viewsat® Ultra Lite now on display in our new expanded showroom! ...
