That is SO-O-O-O misleading!  The stuff on FTA is frequently not what the
average viewer watches.  I see medical program channels, Arab language
shows, preachers and obscure s****ts shows.

I have two FTA dishes and three receivers.  I rarely switch them on.

Yes, of course there's stuff there, but the appeal is similar to a visit
with your old-maid aunt.
