FTA Satellite is not what it once was, but it's still a viable alternative to paid TV especially if you're interested in news with different views. In this episode Caleb discusses the benefits of FTA Satellite and why a prepper may consider adding it to their communications plan. Although FTA satellite systems have largely faded from mainstream use, a small community of enthusiasts remains committed to preserving this technology. They emphasize its unique ability to access international programming, which has kept a niche audience engaged, particularly among those interested in content from different languages and cultures. For a time, this interest sustained the FTA community, but the rapid growth of streaming services soon eclipsed these efforts, pushing FTA further into obscurity. While FTA satellites are no longer widely used, some hobbyists still refurbish old dishes and exchange knowledge online. These dedicated individuals continue to discover unencrypted feeds and network programming through FTA systems, even though the widespread availability of internet-based content has greatly diminished the demand for such technology. Is there a place in your comms plan for FTA Satellite? For me? Yes.
