Resolved Question: Difference between FTA satellite receiver and standard definition set top box?
February 26th, 2008 · No Comments
I’ve always had a standard definition set top box which is connected up to my cable TV. However, recently, I heard about free to air (FTA) satellite receivers (I know, not very up to date!).
Could someone please explain to me the difference between them and what exactly a FTA satellite receiver does?
Is a blind scan (FTA receiver) merely searching for channels similar to picking up of different channels when you first set up the standard definition STB?
I’m really confused! Fingers crossed someone can help!
