Losing TV Channels?

If you already own an FTA receiver and you've lost your channels, here's what we recommend:

Purchase a complete package of dish, motor, and LNB.CLICK HERE.

You will require a 31 dish, a motor to move the dish to any satellite you choose, and an LNB to receive that signal. Most people choose the Invacom Quad LNB as it will allow you to run up to 4 receivers off of 1 dish and can receive signals from both the linear and circular KU band frequencies. All satellite signals in North America are one or the other and that is the benefit of owning a motorized 30 dish with an Invacom Quad LNB.


Recently, we have received many phone calls and emails about some channels that used to work and now show a black or blank screen.

If you have an 18 inch or 22 inch dish and are pointing at a Premium Satellite Company in North America, then it does make sense that you have a black screen on some channels.

If you want to receive all the free and true FTA channels like what is listed below you need to purchase a new dish (slightly larger than your current dish) with a new FTA LNB (nozzle at the end of the satellite arm) and ideally a rotor to move the dish east to west (horizon to horizon)

With this new dish, LNB, and rotor, you'll be able to move the dish satellite to satellite with your current FTA receiver and get all these channels listed below.

These channels are available FREE if you live in the USA or Canada.
