What is Free to Air?
Free to Air satellite broadcasts are readily available across the world with hundreds of different channels for your viewing pleasure. There are no monthly fees and there is a plentiful amount of different options which vary between ethnicities and languages. This technology differs from regular satellite television because the signals are available without any subscription, and are not encrypted, however wide open the way television was meant to be.

What channels will I be able to watch?
There are hundreds of both local and international free to air satellite signals which you can receive using a free to air receiver. Channels are not scrambled and are encoded in MPEG2 format. You can find a listing of available free to air channels at the Lyngsat web site.

Will it work with my existing satellite dish?
Any standard round eighteen to twenty inch dish will work just fine. You will be able to receive many popular North American signals with it. Satellite dishes that aren't standard like the 3LNB dish will not work because of their integrated switches.

What size satellite dish will work?
You can use any standard size satellite dish, however in "fringe" areas like Northern Mexico or Southern Canada a larger satellite dish is recommended.

How do I find a signal broadcast?
Depending on what type of programming you wish to watch, there are different satellite broadcasts to suit your needs. Refer to the Lyngsat site for a list of available broadcasts in your area and then align your satellite dish with the correct signal and you'll be watching television in no time.

Do your receivers pick up C-Band broadcasts?
Our receivers will pick up C-Band and KU-Band broadcasts, however a larger satellite dish may be required depending on the signal you wish to receive.

How can I ensure optimal signal quality?
The easiest way to get the best signal possible is by purchasing a portable satellite signal finder device which will assist you in pointing your free to air satellite dish towards the right coordinates.

What do I need to have two receivers working simutaniously?
You need to make sure that your satellite dish has a Dual LNB. If you do not already have a Dual LNB, you can easily replace your existing LNB with one that has two receiver outputs. If you have more than two receivers, you'll need to get a multi switch device which allows for multiple free to air receivers.

I own two receivers and more than one satellite dish. How can I make it all work together?
First ensure that each satellite dish has a Dual LNB and is connected to a multi switch. You'll also require a Diseqc Switch for each free to air satellite receiver you have.

Can a diplexer be used to consolidate both my local channels and satellite signal?
You will need two diplexers: one to consolidate the signal outside your home, and one to separate those signals once they are inside your home. Most multi switches have an integrated diplexer built in.

Should I buy a receiver for each television in my home?
