How long has fta been your hobby?

**tb1971** · June 29th, 2008

Been playing with fta(plastic, loaders, unloopers) for several years, but never got serious about learning it till' about 6 months ago.

**bigevil69** · June 29th, 2008

been doing it since the real old days

**boboisno1** · June 29th, 2008

B.U.D'S was where it was at back then.

Not quite cleaning my bi focals to write this but OLD.

just 2 Years For Me But I Love Them

**jc7257** · June 29th, 2008

Been doing this about 5 years now. It seems the more I stay here, the more I learn. Hold on, let me get where I can look through my BI-FOCALS, OK, I got it now...

I start FTA testing last Feb.14 2003. But still learning everyday.

**chill dawg** · June 29th, 2008

I've bee testing before satellite (DTV), cable was first so who was I to be deprived. Then DTV for years, why not go with actual system, since they got picky I incorporated fta into my skills set. FTA has been around longer then ten years we used to have those 10ft dihes in the beginning. Working on FIOS!

Well I used to play with the other satleite system but I have only been using the true fta system for about a year now...

For me I started about in The dave days.. Man those those days were the best.. and still to continue to learning.

**just4ufolks** · June 29th, 2008

Way too long and not long enough i guess. Still lots to learn even though i've been "in the game' fo quite some awhile. Nothing and i mean nothing beats the old days. less people around and nobody really cared back then. Now there is a dish on every house and not always for legal satellite.

**tb1971** · June 30th, 2008

I'll tell ya I have learned alot in just a few months, I learn something new everyday...very fun hobby!

**old76** · June 30th, 2008

About 10 yr. but never real serious. Just that little something extra

**RICKSBEACH** · June 30th, 2008

When did MTV make its debut? I guess its been about 25 years. Our first setup was a 10 foot mesh dish with a Chaparral Monteray Receiver with an A5 board running the show..
Been playing with the big uglys for years. Then the little fella's came on the scene Direct, Hughes, Bev, ****..etc
Setups sure have changed over the years and now FTA is the number 1 setup ..
Awesome!! Whats next down the road

**SoDarkTheCon** · June 30th, 2008

Rick that reminds me...I got 2 of those big 10ft on my property, anyone want them for scrap metal ?

**RICKSBEACH** · June 30th, 2008

We buried ours on the farm dump years ago..lol
I think we went through 3 arms on it from moving it around so much..

**SoDarkTheCon** · June 30th, 2008

I still have some of the receivers from back then, but that was when my father used to take care of satellite tv. I'm like a legacy, my father first and now me...lol

Wow Rick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!now thats along time! Never heard of such a thing! I dated a girl back then and they had money, they had this huge dish that was motorized and I can remember when he would push a button for the motor on the dish to switch sats!!! Funny this fta has alot of history to it!
