Anyone have any experience with Free-To-Air here in Calgary?
I don't know a ton about it, but a friend of mine was mentioning it to me, and I have some interest in it....but I like to hear first hand experiences that it actually does work.
My buddy has the nfusion unit, which is supposed to be one of the most fool proof receivers available. I played around with it the other day and it seemed pretty cool.
I am considering it.

Well, when I built the garage I ran several coax lines out there so I could eventually mount a "satellite ranch" up there. (If you are looking on other forums, the non-Alberta term is a satellite farm.) The advantage of having several dishes is that you don't have to wait as long changing channels for the dish to move.
Keep in mind it is a hobby- not a substitute for cable or conventional satellite. And there's a lot of crap to filter through to get to the good stuff. And the last time I checked the only US Networks available were the Alaska feeds; so prime time shows would be on later than our Pacific feeds.
Several posts have been deleted. The user asked a legitimate question about the legitimate use of a piece of technology. Let's keep this on topic; without discussion of illegal activity.
My brother in law has had a big free to air dish for a number of years. At first it was pretty good but now all the stations are turning to digital and he's having to upgrade his equipment. I also understand there are far fewer free stations out there and he's having trouble subscribing to American networks because he doesn't have an American address. He also has cable but it's been a cool hobby.

The one I used just worked like a regular receiver attached to a regular pointed expressvu dish.
