In order to receive signals on a Fortec Star Ultra receiver , you must hook it up to the proper size dish and use the proper LNB and point to a satellite that offers Free channels that are not encrypted , 100's of channels are available for free. This is True FTA.
You can find out more about True FTA by going to the best Satellite forum , Satellite Guys U.S.

Warning : loading software to get encrypted channels is NOT FTA , and that type of question is not tolerated at Satellite Guys U.S.
