Anyone use or play around with free to air tv?

My family and I do a lot of camping and I am interested in this technology, but I don't want to waste the money if it isn't going to work that well. Any information would be great, Thanks!

The problem with FTA is you need a motorized dish to aim at the different birds to get different programming. FTA only gets FREE tv unless modified, and I won't go into that.

. All I know about FTA is what I read on Wikipedia, but it sounds like it would work in the woods as long as you can "see" the satellites. Sounds like the programming is limited, but that shouldn't be a big problem - if nothing's on, go feed the bears.

That was always MY #1 reason to go camping ...for sure.
