What equipment is necessary to receive FTA?
A FTA receiver, a dish of sufficient size, a Low-Noise Block Filter (LNBF), and the cables to connect them are needed in order to receive FTA. For most FTA channels (those using Ku-band), a 30-inch dish is necessary. Only a few FTA channels are available using smaller, 18-inch dishes. There are even more channels available with a C-band (6-foot) dish, but we will not go over them here.
