History of FTA - Free to Air

FTA starts all the way in Asia. Asia was actually the first place Free to Air or MPEG-2 transmissions were used with lots of people. Back then, you would have to use the big ugly dishes and antenna’s that we all remember. Connecting multiple dishes or antennas was hard to do and took up a lot of space which made it very hard for most people to get multiple channels. Mpeg-2 allowed for more channels to be broadcasted per transmission which made it take off in the Satellite testing community. Unlike Asia, North Americans were able to afford and maintain these big dishes and antennas and FTA became more and more popular here. With the debut of satellite television FTA Receivers gained more and more popularity. Surpassing any of it’s guessed growth. So basically, FTA Receivers got huge in Asia first, then the fad began to move it’s way to europe, and then finally it made it here. Now it’s getting bigger and bigger here. Always growing. The first receiver that were sold in North America were the Hyundai HSS-series of receivers which were extremely primitive only getting about 99 different channels. They were slow, hard to get working, and pretty all around lame compared to todays selection of models and makes.

MPEG-2 is a name that describes the type of digital satellite transmission that MPEG-2 receivers connect to. MPEG-2 is the best out there right now, rivaling analog because of it’s ability to send 8-10 times the amount of data on the same stream. Digital signals can be transmitted either encryted or nonencrypted. This is the same in analog. Meaning the sender can scramble channels or not scramble them. The term “In the Clear” is known in the digital TV / DSS world as FTA ( Free-To-Air). Since it is a worldwide standard, there are more MPEG-2 / DVB (digital video broadcasting) channels available in places such as Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, than presently found in the American market. National public broadcasters in other parts of the world have adopted MPEG-2 because it’s the cheapest way to send out the signals with the lowest cost.

Spread of free MPEG-2 signals into North America has been previously hampered by the dominance of the Digicipher 2 video standard made by the former General Instrument (now Motorola Broadband) group. Receivers such as 4DTV and other versions of the Digicipher 2 actually have the letters MPEG-2 stamped on them, but are not compatible with the rest of the world. The difference comes in the way that signals are layered together, especially in the encryption process. It has given the Digicipher 2 a protected monopoly in America. Scientific-Atlanta’s PowerVu system is more closely related to MPEG-2, and it has a lion’s share of digital channels in the rest of the world. It helps that the worldwide PanAmSat satellite system works closely with Scientific-Atlanta in promoting this digital alternative. What is unique is that when signals are NOT addressably encoded, the PowerVu system can be viewed in-the-clear (or Free-to-Air) on most consumer MPEG-2 digital receivers. Several DBS systems in North America use the MPEG-2 platform, and when they choose NOT to encode channels, signals are also available in the same manner. These include Echostar’s DISH Network, Canada’s Bell ExpressVu, Mexico’s SKY MEXICO, and the former Sky Vista and AlphaStar…once on Telstar 5 but now out of business.

This unusual mix of compatible free-to-air systems has presented the opportunity for a great number of channels to become available to North American viewers. There are always a few channels in the transition between in-the-clear and subscription transmission mode. The ultimate goal in many cases is for a subscription service, but some channels have been in-the-clear for months and even years before reverting to scrambling. When a channel goes into that mode, arrangements are usually available with one of the small dish DBS services to sell a subsidized priced receiver when making a long-term commitment to a subscription. We shall concentrate on the channels that continue to transmit in a free mode.

Most of the channels you get with FTA in MPEG-2 are foreign to North America. Having any is completely dependant upon a company from the other side of the world charging a customer for the satellite transmission they are using from North America. Once in a while a company will charge for the transmission they send out to a small satellite dish such as DishNet or DTV and the internation free to air satellite transmission will be left in the signal. It’s reasoning behind this is basically better business, people are more inclined to buy a bunch of channels from you if you are sending them all to one small dish rather then them having to install a huge cband antenna to receive one free channel. After a while though, so many many different people will be using this free feed inside the charged for feed that the system gets overrunned with usage so the satellite company will start charging for this service. So far all the Russian and Polish channels this has happened too including many more after those two. There’s still quite a few of these free internation incomming feeds still available from dishnet including some arabic channels and a few other public broadcasters such as PBS. Mostly the bill is picked up by the actual country the feed is coming from. We know it sounds weird that there would be such thing as completely no cost television but it’s true. It may not be the way we do things but other countries are fine with supplying these services and incomming signals for completely free.

We cannot guarantee the permanent availability of any particular channel. These receivers are primarily designed for the hobbyist; to allow hundreds of additional channels to become available via satellite. This is not the same as, and not a replacement for a 4DTV digital receiver. It should be considered as a supplementary way of getting additional channels otherwise unavailable—no more, no less. Any channel that is now part of an otherwise subscription service but temporarily in free mode should be considered as NOT available on a permanent basis…unless you pay a subscription fee and have hardware for that service. Other broadcasters could be approached individually with an Email, requesting info on what their future plans may be with regard to subscription or free status. The Lyngemark Satellite Chart listed above has Email links and contact information for many channels around the world. Otherwise, do as most hobbyists do…enjoy the free show while it lasts. The number of channels continue to grow, so if your favorite Free-To-Air service goes away or switches to subscription, chances are better than not that something else will soon come along that tickles your fancy.

Basically when you own an FTA Receiver you will most likely need to enter keys manually from time to time. FTA Keys are just a series of numbers and letters which correspond to the remote control of your FTA Receiver. The latest Keys correspond to your remote because you will need to enter new keys manually into your FTA Receiver.

Entering the latest FTA Keys is a very common thing to do with your Free to air satellite Receiver. It is extremely hard to find a reliable FTA Support source on the internet and it’s even harder to find real help with entering your Keys and using your FTA Receiver. We will help you with everything you need.

We are the leading site on the internet for FTA Keys Support and we take care of all our members. Join FTA Keys Area now and start enjoying your Free to Air Receiver experience. We have all the latest FTA Keys for all the Pansat, Coolsat, Viewsat, NFusion, Sonicview, Captiveworks, Ariza, and many more FTA Receivers.

For Receivers that don’t have a Working Auto Roll File.

Shut off auto roll and put in today’s keys. If it goes black again…check for newer keys to manually enter.

A character can be a number or a letter, and 2 of them together = hex pair

There are 32 Characters found in a Key and they are split into 16 hex pairs.

Those 16 hex pairs are divided into 2 rows with 8 hex pairs in each.

Hence each key, like Key 00 and key 01 has a string of 2 rows with 8 hex pairs in each.

Use remote key pad to enter your numbers.

• Most FTA’s use the old N1 key spots in firmware, So they split the 16 byte key into two 8 byte keys. • These aren’t accurate as Key00 and Key01 but rather are half’s of the active key

Coolsat Slot 10 and 11 are for Idea Key 0 and Slot 20 and 21 are for Idea Key 1

Pansat key 00 for Idea Key 0 and Key 01 for Idea key 1

Viewsat line 08 and 09 for Idea Key 0 and lines 88 and 89 for Idea key 1

For Receivers with only two Key Slots, Enter ACTIVE Idea Key into 00 and 01

D!sh & other providers can swap back and forth from one key to the other. If one does not work…try the other

D!sh & other providers also, and sometimes WILL run both keys active where some channels such as porn would work with one key, and the other channels with the other active key

This list will be updated as Fta Keys are posted.

“Important News Has Been Released, Read The News To Get Updated!”

Changes are going to be made to the keys codes.

To find when and what kind of changes please read the FTA News.

To see the latest Fta keys, please login to the VIP SECTION.

By joining FtaWeb you will get access to all the latest FTA Keys. You will be provided with a username and password Instantly after joining to log in to our private FTA Keys download forum. All the latest FTA Keys for all FTA Receivers are posted in our FTA Forum and updated daily.

Title

The title of a web page appears in search results as the link to that page. Learn more ...

Purpose

The title of a web page appears as a clickable link in search results and bookmarks. A descriptive, compelling home page title with relevant keywords can increase the number of people visiting the site.

Search Engines

Search engines view the text of the title tag as a strong indication of what the page is about. Accurate keywords in the title tag can help the page rank better in search results.

Length

A title tag should have fewer than 70 characters, including spaces. Major search engines won't display more than that.

Content

The title tag of your home page (and any other page on your site) should not contain the site’s domain name or URL. These will appear near the title in search results, so use your 70 characters to tell people what the page is about. The title tag should not contain any HTML, because it will be displayed incorrectly or not at all.

  • Good: This web page has a title tag.
  • Good: The title tag is a good length.
The title of this site's home page:
FTA Files Free to Air Satellite TV Community Forums

Meta Description

Search engines often use the meta description of a web page to describe it in search results. Learn more ...

Purpose

The meta description tells searchers what a web page is about. It is often displayed below the title in search results, and helps people decide if they want to visit that website.

Length

Search engines will read 200 to 250 characters, but usually display only 150, including spaces. The first 150 characters of the meta description should contain the most important keywords for that web page. Using fewer than 50 characters could mean you’re not saying enough about the page.

Content

The meta description should be engaging, and should include keywords that accurately reflect what visitors will find on the web page. The keywords should be the same ones that a site's potential customers are using to search. Include a site’s location if it is important.

  • Good: The meta description is the right length, between 50 and 150 characters.
The meta description for this site's home page:
FTA Files, FTA Instructions, FTA Keys. Free to Air Forum. FTA FIRE Offer FTA Support For all FTA Receivers.

H1 Headings

The H1 heading is an important sentence or phrase on a web page that quickly and clearly tells people and search engines what they can expect to find there. Learn more ...

Just one H1

In most cases, a web page should have just one H1 heading. Using multiple H1 headings is okay if that is a logical way to organize the page, but they should be used sparingly. That’s because search engines can view multiple H1 headings as an attempt to signal that all the content on a page is equally important, a tactic that’s seen as an attempt to game the search engine algorithms.

Purpose

Search engines look for an H1 heading to determine what a page is about. Human visitors do, too.

Content and placement

The H1 heading appears on the web page itself, unlike the page title, which people will see mostly in search results.

The H1 tag (which contains the H1 heading) is usually listed first among the other heading tags for a page. None of the major search engines, however, will penalize a site for listing H2 through H6 tags ahead of the H1 tag.

The H1 heading for a page should be different from its title. Each can target different important keywords for better SEO.

  • Problem: This web page does not have an H1 heading. It should have one.

Ftafire.com in search results

You can see below how most search engines will display this site's home page in search results. The title is used as the link to the page, and the meta description appears below the title.

Robots

Your website's robots.txt file can tell search engines to ignore parts of your site. Learn more ...

Purpose

Website owners usually use robots.txt to let search engines know which pages or sections of their site shouldn't be indexed — for example, web contact forms, print versions of web pages and other content that's duplicated elsewhere on the site. Robots.txt can also be used to request that specific robots not index a site. For more information, read How To Use Robots.txt.

Be careful!

If you're going to use robots.txt, be careful not to accidentally exclude search engines from pages you want people to find. To learn more, read Don't Block Search Engine Crawlers.

Search engine robots

You'll need to know the names of specific search engine robots - or "bots" – if you’re going to exclude any or all of them from any part of your site.

Canonical Url

This website can live at www.Ftafire.com or Ftafire.com. It's best for your site's visibility to live at just one URL, or web address. You'll want to create a 301 redirect to the URL you choose from the other URL. Learn more ...

Choose one or the other

Whichever of these URLs you choose, make sure your website lives ONLY at that location, which is called the canonical URL for your site.

Be careful!

If you choose www.MyWebsite.com for your site, make sure people who don't type www can get to your site, too. Create a permanent 301 redirect from MyWebsite.com to www.MyWebsite.com.

If the same web page exists at two different URLs, people can choose to link to one or the other. Links from other sites to your website are valuable — they tell search engines that your site is important to people. By splitting valuable links between two identical pages, you're diluting the power of those links to help a page rank higher in search results.
