This is a very broad and simplistic overview of what FTA Keys are and why they are so popular. A more ‘tech’ style article will be published soon for those who want to understand the frequencies, code structures, K band limitations and other aspects of Free to Air TV.

FTA, the abbreviation for “Free to Air”, simply refers to the receiving of satellite signals via a satellite dish, and decoding them to be displayed as picture (Television) on your TV. To view “Free to Air” signals, you must input a set of keys into your receiver in order to descramble the signals properly.

FTA Keys simply remove the barriers that normally prevent non-subscribers from receiving the Free to Air signals sent out from certain satellites. The keys give the holder of those keys the freedom to access multiple satellite signals. The keys are inputted into an FTA Receiver that usually sits on or under a TV much like a DVD layer.

A typical satellite dish can pick up signals from only one or two satellites. An FTA receiver is a special kind of dish/receiver combo that has been programmed to pick up free to air signals. The owner must input the keys to ‘unlock’ or descramble the signals. Once unlocked, the FTA receiver has the ability to pick-up the many signals that float freely in the air.

How do you enter the keys into the receiver? FTA keys are really just a set of numbers. They can be entered manually or through files, called FTA Bin Files. They can also be entered via a computer that is attached to the receiver via USB. There are so many different types of FTA receivers that explaining every operation would take pages – the best way to find out is to simply go to a Free to Air webpage and look one that supports your model. Once a receiver gets those numbers, it can pick-up and decode the many signals in the air. FTA Keys unlock the proper program on the receiver, much the same way that a password can unlock a computer program. The programmed receiver responds to the “code word”, the numbers contained in the key.

For those who want to enjoy the programming on FTA Satellite TV, but who do not want to pay for Satellite TV, the choice to access FTA keys is more and more being viewed as an economical alternative. There are now several different companies that charge for the service of providing updated FTA Keys for your receiver, as well as full setup support and FAQ’s for your particular receiver. Because the cost for these services are much less than the amount of money that would otherwise go to the Satellite Company, many TV viewers now pay for this service. It is important to mention that Free To Air TV is perfectly legal.

One can find many FTA Key companies online. Because of high competition, rates are low and usually include full support options. Find a company that offers all the latest FTA Keys AND offers free support for your receiver setup. Customers searching for a way to get keys should look for a company that has constantly updated keys. Keys are constantly changing, and only a handful of companies online get updated FTA Keys (and pass them to their customers) in an immediate fashion.

Canada’s largest direct-to-home satellite broadcaster, BEV has informed its dealers that it will no longer sell or rent its 3150 and 5900 standard definition (SD) satellite receivers.

In an update sent to dealers last month, the company says that once the current inventory of 3150 and 5900 satellite receivers is gone, BEV will replace these models with high definition (HD) satellite receivers.

In place of the 3150 standard definition receiver, BEV will be offering the 6131 high definition receiver while in place of its 5900 standard definition personal video recorder (PVR), Bell will offer the 9241 High HD PVR.

Dealers tell Digital Home that BEV’s standard definition model 4100 is still being sold, however, they expect that may change in 2010 as stocks are drawn down and the percentage of households with high definition televisions increases.

The move to selling only HD receivers make sound economic sense. By going all HD, it means fewer models for BEV to have to support and it ensures the newest satellite receivers offered by the company will feature MPEG-4 capability, the ability to add an external hard disk drive and HDMI connectivity.

MPEG-4 is an advanced audio video compression scheme that will allow Bell TV to deliver bandwidth hogging high definition signals more efficiently. The transition to MPEG-4 by BEV has not been confirmed and is not expected for several years but MPEG-4 capability now means the receiver will be able to handle new future signal transport systems.

The ability to add an external hard drive means the 6141 HD receiver can be turned into a PVR while the 9241 HD PVR can have greatly expanded storage.

HDMI connectivity means all of BEV TV’s receivers will be able to deliver a digital audio and video signal to all HD televisions now on the market.

Since the newer HD receivers can also decode and deliver standard definition signals to existing televisions, the move will mean that customers buying or renting these receivers will be able to use them to view both standard and high definition channels and connect to both analog and digital televisions for years to come.
