    I am new to this whole FTA setup. I currently have a digital cable setup and plan on giving this FTA a try. I've done some research from just googling FTA. Does anyone have any suggestions for other forums or websites with valuable "startup" information??

    I have some specific questions I need answered before I invest in this. And I was hoping that someone would be interested in helping me out?? I have some of the necessary equipment already, I am having trouble deciding on which Receiver to purchase? Also, I am not sure how to tie into my preexisting cable setup with the new dish setup.

    Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

    THANKS!!

    You are in the right place if you are wanting to try a cable box, but when you mention dish, they will not work with a dish, that is a completely different scene, this is what you want with cable like these okay >>>>>>>>>>

    wait. so what you're saying is that I can get FTA cable channels and not setup a dish? As in, I buy one of those cable receivers and it will pick up the free cable channels??

    Yes if you have the cable live feed and a basic subscription package.

    Oh ok. Compared to FTA satellite, which is better.. cable or satellite?
    And all of those receivers are from UK and I live in the USA, is there another website with those receivers?

    I think that you would be better off here then, there is a few equivalent threads dealing with what you are looking for on your side, so you could start a search at the top, but go here first they are on your side of the water ;) >>>>>>>>>
