Free satellite television is unlike paid subscription based satellite services offered by popular providers such as Bell ExpressVu in Canada and Dish Network or DirecTV in the United States. Those services require a paid subscription to access premium content channels like those commonly offered by local cable companies such as Comcast and others.
FTA is also known to many in underground communities like ftaforums.org as the practice of decoding Nagravision 3 and other encrypted content from paid subscriber satellite services enabling them to be viewed for free, using equipment designed originally to receive only publically available free content. Many FTA Receiver manufacturers have been accused of purposely designing devices for this specific use by Echostar, the company that owns Bell ExpressVu and Dish Network. These devices since June of 2009 have been using a method called IKS (Internet Key Sharing) to pass needed encryption keys and codewords to the FTA receiver to open the channels for viewing. FTA receivers however, are not designed for such use. New laws have been adopted in Canada and the United States prohibiting anyone from using illegal devices or modifing legal devices for such uses. We do not condone such activity and will not provide support for such activities on this website.
