Noobie in Noo Jersey on DirecTV
Just joined.. Hello to all. Know nothing about FTA. Presently with DirecTV.. not very happy. Their receiver stopped working,, they tell me I have to pay to fix it, as well as $100+/m for service.
So, I would like to know the advantages and/or disadvantages of FTA versus DTV, Comcast, Dish, etc. What are my options, the pros & cons??
Can anyone help me??

Re: Noobie in Noo Jersey on DirecTV
true fta never goes down but has limited channel type choices
using a fta receiver for other programming has its ups and downs
at this time you would need an iks capable receiver such as cnx w/dongle, nfusion, sonicview w/ihub, or kbox w/khub and constant internet connection
pro's free tv other than purchasing equipment
con's some downtime
welcome aboard friend
everyone here is willing to help you free
but to get the most out of the best site you will need to
upgrade your membership and you can do that by clicking the link in my signature also take a moment to look over the site rules via the link in my signature

Re: Noobie in Noo Jersey on DirecTV
Hi themerce, welcome to ABA, looks like BigE gave you a run down on the FTA pros and cons. You can also browse around the forums and read what some of the members have commented about the different receivers. It may be something you'll be interested and maybe not. You have to have a lot of patience for this hobby and not expect to have TV every time you want it. Let us know what you decide. We are glad you have you join us.
