Lemmy Morgan May 2018 Update: Let us discuss Free to air channels!!

This site has been promoting free to air channels in an aggressive manner since we stopped selling dongles. Now, what I categorise as free to air can be tagged as channels that open on your free to air decoder without you connecting the decoder to the internet. By extension, these channels require a satellite dish of various sizes. Also, this channels could be such that is currently in test transmission(E.g tstv) or as a feed channel that comes up only at certain times.

I will reluctantly say, feed channels that require public biss keys can also fit into this. However, immediately such keys are block, then they cease to be FTA. I have a high-search traffic article dedicated to free to air channels only(Some basic free to air channels and their frequencies ). In addition, there are other incremental articles on free to air channels with you can avail yourself of. The most important thing to note is that the bigger the size of your dish, the more you enjoy free to air channels.

To wrap up Lemmy Morgan May 2018 Update on FTA, let me quickly explain my last article on Transponders(Frequencies and symbol rates). You will agree with me that we need Transponders details in other to track any satellite channels. You can find the article here with the following title(Latest transponder/channels updates (from King Of Sat, Flysat, Lyngsat, TrackSat..)
