True FTA Channel List *05/30/05 UPDATE*
INCLUDES BELL & DISH NET LIST
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the latest True FTA list for North America.
This list has all C and Ku band FTA that is viewable from the 50 US states and most of Canada. It's better organized than the Dish 2000 list for FTA in that the channels are grouped by satellite-- the exception being the locals and network section.
The list is organized as follows:
1-99 Locals and Networks (both C and Ku band FTA)
100-199 C-band English FTA
200-299 Ku-band English FTA
300-399 C-band Foreign FTA
400-499 Ku-band Foreign FTA
500-599 Globecast/L5 FTA
650-699 Religious Channels
700-799 University and homeschool courses
801-814 G3 Equity mux (temporary until channels are moved)
900-999 HDTV
This would be a good list for when there's an ECM and the fix is three weeks away-- the situation we all were in a couple months ago. It's also a good list of any FTA "purists" you might know who are squeamish about hacking.
A second list has been added for those for whom a C-band dish is not an option. It has all Ku-band satellites viewable from North America. The channel arrangement is as follows:
1-99 Locals
300-399 English
400-499 Foreign
650-699 Religious
700-799 University/Homeschool and HD
A few things are worth mentioning for the newbies: First, you cannot get any of these channels with an 18" dish and Dave/Dish LNB (except for NASA and the music channels on 91 and 119). You need a Ku dish and linear LNB for the Ku FTA and you need a BUD if you want to get the C-band stuff-- which is so much better anyway.
** 4-2-05 Changes **
* TV Japan is now available on the once-defunct T7. It has both English and Japanese audio feeds
* America One TV is back again.
* KCWY (NBC) Casper, WY added.
