thats what the box is made for, real fta, theres different sats you can get free english programming and commercial feeds and news. best you get a motor.
theres a update site on fta feeds other then lyng sat site for english feeds that are on sats now. programming comes and goes. most is foreign language. g10r use to be good, its been renamed gallaxy ? I get it on a star choice dish and lnb. , but you need a motor for the rest. 97 west renamed numberous times is good for aljeezera news , but mostly ethnic.
amc4 bio channel and history which are open now, thats the hotel programming satellite at the moment I noticed. good luck.
