TRUE FTA 6 Steps to a Successful FTA Experience
Believe it or not this does make a whole world of difference
Always ensure to practice and try these..................
6 Steps to a Successful FTA Experience
1. Although it's not required, Always keep (at the very least) the most basic Subscription to a provider. Look at it this way, would you ever want to be without ANY T.V? Without a sub to fall back on, I can assure you at some point you will....maybe for a few hours, maybe a few days...maybe weeks....etc.
2. Don't ever feel that you are "owed" anything. You may choose to spend anywhere from $100-$500 on a receiver. Keep in mind that every second of T.V. you watch with that receiver costs money. Just because you're receiving it free-of-charge, doesn't mean it's worthless. Depending on how much you watch, and what provider...the average FTA system (if paid for as a legitimate sub) would run anywhere from $300-$800/month. So keeping this in mind...1 month of service is going to pay off just about any receiver you purchase...the rest is just icing on the cake.
3. When choosing a receiver, don't just buy what the most people have...or what your buddy has etc...Get into the forums. Ask as many questions as possible. Learn what questions to ask by reading the guides-how to's. It's imperative that you form your own opinion and make your own decisions when it comes to this.
4. Always remember that no matter what happens...someone else has already gone through it, and chances are...posted about it on this site. Make sure you at least attempt to find an answer to your question on your own before posting in the forums.
5. If all else fails ASK Site Staff. The Site Staff on this site, are here to help you. They are a wealth of knowledge freely available to you and at your disposal...so use them. From my own personal experience, they love answering questions (as long as you at least attempted to find the answer on your own), and will always point you in the right direction.

6. Remember to donate to help support the site. Times are lean right now...folks seem to think that just because there are no files coming out for all brands that it does not cost to keep this site running. That however is not the case. Bills for servers and bandwidth still have to be paid.
On average there are over 200 members online here at any given time. Many, no, make that most, of them have never donated to help support this site. Everyone enjoys coming here to hang out with online friends, getting info, asking questions, and getting help when they need it. All of that takes up bandwidth.
There are many who donate on a regular basis and it is much appreciated. However, the bulk of the members don't. This site is not here to make money, it is here to share information. If the members do not choose to donate to help support this site, steps may have to be taken to reduce costs or generate revenue. This could include limiting access to supporting members, limiting time the site is available, making it a donation a requirement to access certain areas, or other options.
Right now, everything is readily available to everyone. And it would be great to keep it that way. Everyone for the most part always says how great this site is (and we feel that its truly the best) and how much they enjoy and appreciate the information and comraderie that is found here. We strive to make it the best, so please consider a donation to the site to help keep it functioning and being the best.
If you've read all this, and still want to jump in the "testing" game...I say GOOD LUCK And remember, only you make the decisions that will determine your "testing" experience...make sure you make a good one by educating yourself.
